I was able to sneak out and do a quick test. Just removing the bulb was enough to make the problem go away. It seems the circuit itself is the issue rather than an accidental short.
My 90 seconds of googling indicates there is a CK type 7443 bulb that some cars need. I'll have to read up on that some more.
This isn't my first time around automotive electronics, but I'm a bit baffled on this.
