What to check next
Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.
Please specify which running lights are affected (front, rear, marker/side), whether any fuses are blowing or bulbs failing, whether the short is constant or intermittent, and list any diagnostic findings you already have.
Guidance references and applicability
Source: Original question and visible replies. Owner reports and other participants' experiences are distinguished. Next steps are editorial requests for clarification or existing diagnostic findings, not a verified repair procedure or an independently confirmed component diagnosis.

You can start at the light or the fuse box, whichever is easiest to get to. Check for tight connections and undamaged wire. Check your resistance to ground. That should give you a good starting point.
