My solution uses much the same procedure, except that
I use an ARC
welder and connect that up. With all of that current available, I don't
need to diddle around looking for the short -- the short gets vaporized.
So not only will I find the short (by the flash) but the repair is done
at the same time. This procedure never fails and can be a real time-saver.

p.s. Please note that I'm kidding! I don't post very often but I
Just in acase somebody takes this seriously, I should point out that the
big problem is that ther connector that vaporuises is the wwakest part of
the ciercuit which is not necessarily the short you want to remove.
And of course when the connection does open you get thefull voltage of
the arc welder across it. This is high enough to do a lot of damage...
