Why would this happen? Should I try replacing the wire nut and turning it back on or is there something deeper going on? Thanks for any tips!

      I’m confused if this is a plumbing or electrical thing. Would the short be in the water heater or in the wire before it?

        Either way it’s an electrical short.

        It is probably in the heater its self but you don’t want to go playing with electricity if you don’t know what you’re doing because best you can easily kill yourself or burn your house down
