With the master on, pull your breakers or fuses one by one until you identify the circuit or system causing the field. Once identified, how to eliminate or shield it will become an easier question to ask. Unless you followed the example of one builder who ran all the power wires down the right side of the fuselage and all the ground wires down the other, making the largest possible loop antenna to transmit electromagnet noise. His only option was to rewire the airplane. A wise man doesn't try to cure diarrhea by working on the plumbing in the bathroom.
