Electrical Gremlins - short IN fusebox?

[desmo888 at comcast.net]

Anthony,

I like your idea for isolating the offending circuit but I don't think that
will work in my case.

I actually unplugged the connector from the bottom of the fuse box.  That
should mean all the circuits associated with my blowing fuse are now
separated.  When I have the plug separated from the fuse box, I still get a
ground on the non-hot fuse contact.

thoughts?
