It turns out there was no short circuit, the resistances I was reading were just the loads of the different relays and devices. I hooked everything back up and no fuses blew. I jumpered from b+ to d+ with an in line toggle switch and 5A fuse and now the brick is back.

Wouldn't I have to hook the battery up to use a temperature gun? The short happened with the battery disconnected, and I'd rather not risk damaging the wires and components by letting any fault current flow. That's why I've been using an ohmmeter to trace the short.

Thanks Regina, sorry for the slow reply, I didn't think my post went through. I'm new here haha. I was in the process of trying that when a new problem popped up. Now I have a short circuit to ground. I reinstalled the stock alternator, and while I was doing this I disconnected the air intake to get...

About two months ago my 91 240 wouldn't start, so I jumped it but wouldn't hold a charge. I checked my Bentley manual, which says that the battery warning light (wired in series between the small positive alternator terminal (D+) and the battery) needs to work for the alternator to operate. Warning ...
