[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1622896, member: 21289"] That 100 hurt at the time but it's nice to have an idea where and how far it is to the problem. I also have several disconnects in my fence lines.That was how I could isolate before I had a fault finder.Still work well to keep from having to go all the way back to the charger to shut off the current flow.Makes for faster checks to see if you have more than one problem. If nothing else helps,you might change out all the insulators in the section you found.Expensive and time consuming but insulators an break down and short without showing sometimes. Walking the line after dark might let you see an arc where you haven't.I suppose an AM portable radio might help in a long stretch of wire. Another thing I'm wanting to try is the lights that hook to the fence which show a voltage drop.Some only flash when there is low voltage some flash only when there is.I don't trust the meter on the box.By the time it shows a problem,it's bad.Some grounding doesn't even show on mine. You may find the box needs work to power the entire line,as someone pointed out.Or,as mentioned,you need more or better grounds. [/QUOTE]
