Your short circuit problem is located in your engine compartment light fixture. If you inspect the fixture you will notice that there is a copper strip assembly that is part of the lamp holder. A rubber insulator isolates the contact at one end of the lamp holder. Over time the insulator will dry rot and cause the two copper contacts to come into contact with each other resulting in a short circuit. In some cases the insulator is completely missing. Check to see if this is your problem. It also appears that you have a problem with the adjustments of your door switches.
