[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 528399, member: 6969"] At 2 ohms you should be able to calculate roughly how far from the point of measurement the short is, which might help a bit. This is a UK forum so our wiring practices and terminology will vary to what you are used to so there might be some confusion. It is in most cases a case of completely disconnect the cable at each light fitting or light switch (depending if it is loop at light or loop at switch) until you find the fault. Best case you will find a fault at a junction, worst case you will find a length of cable with both ends disconnected that still has the short = nail or screw through cable. [/QUOTE]
