Suggestion: Remove the back plate lamps. The long filaments of that type 
may be able to cause a short cut if burnt through.

Its a bit difficult to find by short cut testing. The lines go two times 
over light switch contacts in order to differentiate one sided without 
from two sided parking lights with number plate illumination.
