One of the ways I track stuff down is to unplug the harnesses. 1.Most have a plug that goes to the harness under the carpet which feeds the trunk, try that first and put in fuse.
2. If it holds try the plug in the trunk (plug the one under dash back together). Unplug and put in fuse. If fuse holds then check out back harness. Light bulbs can also short out if they quit the wrong way.
