Ok...here goes...hopefully someone can help me so I don't have to go spending another 100 bux at some car place.

Here's the deal...

89 s-10 blazer, 2.8, 4x4...

I was fooling with my aftermarket radio about a week ago and wasn't getting any success...radio was broken...however, in the midst of my fooling around w/ the power wires, etc, I must have left one exposed...Come out to start my truck the next day and click, click, click...DEAD. I immediately suspected my actions from before. Tried to cover all exposed wires ...still nothing. Finally end up jumpin it w/ my mom's Bonneville, and it runs fine. Next day...DEAD again.

The long and short of it is that I finally just went out and got a battery, hoping the old one just bit the dust. But, a day after I ran it...DEAD again. So I'm testing everything w/ a test lite...all the fuses...and looking in Haynes at the electrical diagrams to see what's hot all the time blah blah.

Here's my ques...in the manual to find a short it says to take out the fuses and put in the lite...if it lites then there's a short...but aren't there some fuses that are ALWAYS hot, meaning that you would get a lite if you're connected to ground????

How do i go about really zeroing in on this problem...I can use any help I can get...THANK YOU
