    I amlooking for a wiring
    diagram for a 1996 Honda Accord DX. I have a 12 volt short to grond at
    fuse 9 that goes to the condenser fan. My Hane's manual does not show
    the wiring diagram for this circuit.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Disconnect the condenser fan at its local terminals. Check to see
    if the short is still there.

    How are you measuring/assessing the short? If by blown fuses,
    fair enough but if using a meter then remember that a fan motor
    is very low resistance when not running and may be less than an
    Ohm.

    PS - No, I don't have a wiring Diagram.

    The problem started with the battery going dead. Put on new battery
    and the battery drained overnight. Found that something was drawing a
    lot of current with everything turned off using a test light. Checked
    between the pos and neg cables and was reading 0 ohms pulled the #9
    15 amp fuse and the short went away. Left battery cables on with #9
    fuse out overnight and the battery stayed charged overnight. Just need
    to know what this fuse feeds so I can trace down where the problem is.

    Thanks for your help.

    The #9 Fuse on my Rover is the Fog Lights fuse so you'll need a word
    with a same car owner to verify what exactly that fuse feeds.

    Using your lamp, carry out the first suggestion in my post. If it is the
    condenser fan motor then it should be getting warm if it is consuming
    that amount of current. Do that test after the engine has completely
    cooled down.
