For those that don't have one, you can just briefly touch the red jumper or red wire to to each wire until you see a spark. You can even see it happen in this video. It usually won't blow the fuse, but will let you know that there is a short on that leg.
@@quietgameplays8246 you would do that without a fuse inline. Because usually if you just touch both wire for a second it’s not enough time for the components in the circuit to get fried
Thanks for using the short pro tool. Global the source are manufacturing them now, there built stronger now. I hope to do more videos for this tool ,the resetable fuse & some new products soon thanks.
When lights up, does this mean where short is located? Is the red jumper wire simply clipped to red terminal & then touch each terminal one at a time? Is this correct?
I have a contactor receiving 24V but it doesn't close. I changed the contactor but still doesn't work. I guess there is somewhere short or back feeding the low voltage. Does this tool work for that? thanks
Or there could be another fault within the condensing unit, such as a low voltage safety switch, i.e. low pressure or high pressure switch that is cutting out 24 to the contactor coil

11 years later and this video just helped me understand a short I have. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you very much.
And like 5 extra fuses

Great invention Dennis , I love it
I bought two of these and like them a lot!

Easy to use. Nice tool !!!
I'm buying it! Found you from the Global website.
That's a good tool to have saves a lot of time and trouble
If you have a unit without the fuse just a transformer. I assume you just wire the short pro to the 24 volt side of the transformer connection wires.
Thank you Mr. Mitchell
nice tool!!! and explanation.
Great video!

nice tool gonna grab one good video also!!!
I meant to say, where do I buy the tool?
May be stupid to ask but wouldn’t checking the continuity on your meter be the same thing?
Where can I buy a short pro tool?
Does it work to find out back feed wirings too?
great tool of the trade!!! gotta get me one.
Where do I by the tool?
so it is just checking the stat wire?
Got mine 👍
Where can I find this tool??? What is it called???
u said unplug the furnace, how do you test for a short with no power to the transformer or air handler
JoeMac he meant unplug the fuse
Good video!
Any idea where to buy a short pro tool these days? Or a basic schematic? Did they have some failure mode that made them a problem?

Where is the red jumper connected to while jumping from terminals?
24v constant. He’s energizing each wire independently to find the short
okay. for safety before connecting. sorry
I have a contactor receiving 24V but it doesn't close. I changed the contactor but still doesn't work. I guess there is somewhere short or back feeding the low voltage. Does this tool work for that? thanks
Make sure that the coil you have is for 24 volts. If it's not and its rated for higher it won't close
Or there could be another fault within the condensing unit, such as a low voltage safety switch, i.e. low pressure or high pressure switch that is cutting out 24 to the contactor coil
If it doesn’t close then it’s not receiving 24V. Put your meter in Low Impedance mode and check again.

nice tool!!! and explanation.
