Rear lamp failure

My VIC showing rear lamp failure but the bulb is okay, I think there is a short on the wiring, because the fuse keep on blowing up but I'm getting crazy tracing down where the short is! Can anybody help me out on this one pls.

You've checked ALL the bulbs?

There's 3 per tail light and 3 more in the brake light up top (on the glass hatch).

My old ZJ had the same issue, all the bulbs where good. There was a write up floating around on how to fix it, I'll see if I can find it...
