Obviously. It appears you have the common misconception that any electrical problem is a 'short'. If it were a 'short' it would blow a fuse or burn a wire.

Info about electricity is available on the web. My advice is do some studying if you want to work on electrical problems.

Sounds like a ground problem to me, too.
