My fear of doing a "live test" would be that the problem
wiring/area is not shorting out, but is overheating and
may cause a fire while all the accessories still work.

Borrow/buy a small (lady's compact, dental) mirror to look up
where your head can't reach.  Blindly feel around for burnt or
charred wiring.  Borrow/buy a digital camera, stick it up under
the dash, and take lots of pictures from different angles.  You
may find the evidence you need.
