And if that checks out ok, remove your stop/tail globes and visually check the filaments. Give the globe a light flick with your finger and make sure the filaments are intact.
In some cases when the filament blows it can fall onto the other filament and cause excessive current draw or even a short circuit depending on filament condition.
