How do I debug when a circuit breaker keeps tripping?

1. It has never tripped before (years).
2. Yesterday, it was tripped.
3. I flip it back on, and it trips immediately.
4. It controls a bunch of outlets and lights and that's about it.

I turn off the lights it controls.
I unplug all the outlets.

It still trips.

How do you debug these things?


One other thing that should not need to be said. When you flip it back on,
did you turn it all the way to OFF before turning it back on ?

This needs to be done to reset most breakers.
