I've got this crazy intermittent short somewhere, any ideas?

Hello All,
The #2 circuit breaker on my 710M trips about once a week. It stays reset for a while, but eventually trips again. I have checked the wiring in the right headlight and taillight, both appear fine. All the other circuits are working fine. Before I start chopping into the wiring harness, etc., does anybody have any suggestions about any common problem areas where this particular circuit shorts out. I have not made any electrical modifications to this vehicle. Thanks

Drew

Probably just the breaker. replace it.

It could be anything, if you can trace the circuit in the wiring diagram. No easy feat.
I had an issue with a wire being pinched. Only did it sometimes, must have been a bump that triggered it. Just barely through the insulation.
I really hate electrical stuff going wrong.

most likely a weak breaker but simple to check. switch the wires from the problem breaker with another breaker. If the breaker at the new location continues to pop then you know it is an electrical issue. If the old breaker continues to pop you will need to decide on which option you want to pursue.
