electrical short on tow package harness
I found this on my 08 with tow package. The harness wore through the insulation of the wiring and the paint of the panel. I burnt 3 fuses (rt rear park light) before I could track down the short. Its easy enough to check yours from the top without having to remove the bumper. Anybody else have this problem ? The last picture just showing where I installed my rear cam. I was back there taking pics anyways

Yeah....they ALL do it Fortunately I read a thread about this problem not long after getting my H3, so in anticipation of it happening, I put a piece of wire loom around that spot, and fastened it with nylon tie wraps.

Ditto..That's the first thing I did on my 08 and 10. Reading this forum from it's inception before I purchased my 06 has saved me a lot of headaches.

"the fix", no tools,no parts!
hey,first thanks for previous info to save the rest of us!
yes it would happen to most/all
i checked mine,,cable tight against the metal edge where it would cut thru. when i reached up from the front side of frame i could feel the cable and pull down on it opening the space. i thot id slid in a piece of rubber/plastic.
then with my other hand i could reach the connecter from the rear side.
"the fix": i pulled down and assuming the conn was clipped to the frame i pushed forward. it went "clik" and the cable is now loose! no contact. its stiff enuf not to bounce but if u worry a lot, tie it down,,not up!
another h3 engineering detail solved by the forum guys!!
