Well, it is, in fact, your problem. To track down a short to ground via the internet is virtually impossible. You, or someone else, are going to have to take a multi-meter and the wiring diagram from the FSM and find the short.

A short means that positive and negative are touching. ie insulation on a wire has been compromised. I dont think there is anything in the faq on how to chase down a short.
