Alright can someone help me fix some electrical issues with my car? Theres some wire somewhere touching my car frame and putting 12V into it (which is obviously bad, especially because I run 2 amps). Anyone know how I can find it?  Thanks

If you're getting a short that can heat up the cars body, but that isn't blowing a fuse, firstly that is quite odd, secondly I'd focus on the wiring between the battery and the fuse boxes. This link may help pin down the offending circuit https://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Parasitic-Battery-Drain

it doesnt heat up the cars body, ive just heard it called that for when a live wire is touching the cars body.
