[QUOTE="jerry27150, post: 72965, member: 1177"] played with these all my life, if you have any barbwire or any wire on steel posts just hook your ground wire to it & you will have more ground than any ground rods in tandem. once had a ground rod inside a shed & it got to dry & we had to pour water on ground to make it work. never yet seen where extra ground rods would help. still think you have a dead short somewhere. they can be very hard to find sometimes plastic insulators sometimes cut thru, porcelain sometimes get a crack you can't see, small wire or a piece of barb touching it somewhere you can't see good. i usually keep cutting off a section at a time til things work ok & then i know what section the short is on. what kind of fencer do you have & do you still light all the lights on the new low-impedance tester. also if you have a tester like that you can check fence in different places & the lights will get less near the short. good luck [/QUOTE]
