Claim 15:
16. A method of detecting an electrical short or fault in a subregion of a ROV/item 1000 believed to have an electrical short or fault 1010, comprising the steps of:
(a) accessing the item 1000, the item 1000 having an exterior surface 1100 with a total exterior surface area 1110, and plurality of sub-regions 1200 each having an exterior subregion surface area which is substantially smaller than the total exterior surface area 1110;
(b) providing an electrical short or fault detector 10, the detector having a body 100 with an interior 120 and an outlet 160 fluidly connected to the interior 120, and a conductor 200, and electrically connecting the conductor to the item 1000;
(c) causing a stream 2000 of electrically conductive liquid to be sprayed on the item 1000 from the outlet 160 to a localized area 1020 of the item 1000; and
(d) during step “c” the stream 2000 creating a closed circuit between the stream 1000, the item 1000, and the conductor 200.
