You have a wire(s) on this circuit that is improperly grounding out, probably due to a wet connector (or less likely rubbing off of some part of the wire insulation). Careful inspection of each connector (and wires) on this circuit should reveal the source of your problem (see picture). I guess that one of these connectors is wet. You may need to rinse suspect connectors with distilled water and dry them by blowing with compressed air.
