2000 XJ Parking light fuse blows when hatch closes
So about a week ago I noticed my drivers side parking lights were out (front and back). The turn signals, hazards, and brake lights all still work. Seeing all these were out at the same time I first check the fuse, which was blown. I replaced it and turned on the lights, it popped again. So yesterday I started my search for the short at the rear tail light. I pulled it out and everything looked good with the bulb and and sockets, the trailer hitch wires were good. So I put in a new fuse and tried the lights THEY WORKED. I felt like a king (briefly). So I pack up all my tools and closed the hatch and then the fuse popped again. I have no idea were to go or look from here. So I am back to square one. Any ideas, I have night classes and don't want to start racking up tickets for this.
Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks, I will have to pull the boots to take a better look. I looked at them (exterior only) yesterday and didn't see anything to concerning. Any idea where to look if I don't see anything there?
