Voltage on Frame

When we shipped the robot, there was one small problem remaining that we could not fix. When we checked the frame for voltage there was about 3V going through it. Last year we had a similar problem, but there was 12V. It turned out to be a limit switch with pins touching the frame.

This year we were unable to find the source of this mysterious voltage. I pulled all fuses out. There was still voltage. Unplugged the RC and all limit switches. Still there. I wasted about and hour on this before putting the bot into the crate. I think we'll need to eliminate this problem to pass inspection (the frame is not supposed to be used for power distribution). Any ideas on what to look for when we get to our first regional?
