Hello,
With the 75 amp FUSABLE link pulled and the "ROOM LAMP" fuse installed DEAD SHORT to ground.

Tested everything with a FLUKE METER. The PLOT THICKENS ! This circuit goes DEAD SHORT ONLY WHEN THE HATCH DOOR IS OPENED.

Close the HATCH and INFINITE RESISTANCE !

Piece of CAKE...RIGHT.. I'll just look for the HATCH DOOR SWITCHS.

They probably look like the DRIVERS and PASSENGERS DOOR SWITCHES ?

I CAN'T FIND THEM PHYSICALLY IN THE HATCH DOOR OR CHASSIS. !

No problem, I will look in the FSM . NOPE CAN'T FIND THEM . PEARL HARBOURED AGAIN ! UGH ! HELP !
