1st that solar power charger will not keep your battery charged while driving. one way to tell if you have a short is to make sure your battery has a good charge on it. use a charger to make sure it is charged. then take the negative cable loose from the battery, negative cable only. then touch one end of a 12 volt test light to the negative cable and touch the other end of the test light to the negative post of the battery. if it lights up, you have a short somewhere. this won't tell you where it is, but it will tell if you do have one. leave the hot post hooked to the battery while doing this.
