Clearance/Parking LIghts, Round 2 120-130

Unsure just what I did, but I managed to get my clearance lights working again. The problem is that they won't turn off. I get that buzzing warning sound, but the switch does nothing at all.

I suspect that my license lights have something to do with it. When both are connected and grounded, I get no lights, no nothing. When one or both are disconnected, I get lights that I can't turn off. I figure that it's a short someplace, but I haven't been able to pin-point it yet. For anyone with a good wiring diagram, is it necessary to have the license lights connected, for the circuit to work? (seems so) Are there likely failure points that I should be checking?

Also, I checked the fuses and managed to blow the clearance lighting fuse messing with the license lights. I've replaced the fuse, but have been unable to blow it a second time. I still have werid opperation. I can only turn off the lights now by disconencting the fuse. The buzzer continues until I start the car.

Could this be my switch, or perhaps a crossed wire somewhere? I did take my multimeter to the fusebox and found that the right (left since my fusebox is upside down with the 25 amp on top) has 12 volts running to it, even when the switch is off.

If i were better with electricity, I'd be able to trace this, but I'm still unfamiliar with the systems in this car.
