Before jumping into rewiring, check your sockets and wiring you for broken of shorted to ground More than likely you will find a bad socket causing the problem. Possibly a bad bulb. That's a lot easier that stringing wire.

Put a test light across the fuse terminals, pull out the **** & the light should light - dead short to ground. With the test light on start eliminating things in the circuit - start at light sockets like bilms01 said above. As long as light is on, short to ground exists.
