Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Shorts can be a real pain because they can occur just about anywhere. Fortunately you know that it's the circuit after the fuse to the tailights and dash lights. Easiest might be to disconnect each rear light cluster at a time to see if one is causing the short. it would be much more of a pain if its in the dash lights, but disconnecting the dimmer should show if that's where the problem is. Removing sections of the circuits one at a time should at least isolate the run where the short is. You can download a copy of a slightly earlier wiring diagram at this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bws2ngj ... 9DS0k/edit

I cant drive it home in a dodgy state. I've checked it out with a mechanic however no one here on the East coast has ever seen a Delica!!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS??????????? Does any one have a map of the Van's electrical wiring system? I'm not mechanically inclined however I will do what ever it takes to make this van work.
Danielle, what kind of Delica are you driving, is it a Space Gear or a Starwagon?

P.S.: Welcome to Delica Canada, btw :M.
