You can test along the circuit, jumping two foot sections, that will save you having to open up the entire harness.
A digital multimeter with an audible circuit tester works great for this, but an ohm meter will get the job done, just make sure you disconnect the battery so you don't blow the ohm circuit.
Also, once upon a time, they made audible circuit breakers for testing for shorts--audible until it heats up then breaks the circuit and cools down and resets. That allows you to test the circuit hot.
