1) Bad BCM
2) Bad Column lock relay
3) Wiring to items 1 and 2 (above).

I would start looking for bare/pinched/damaged wires somewhere first and foremost as this will most likely be the culprit. Always try the easiest, most obvious stuff first, especially if any other work has been done in the past (or recently) in the same area or involving that same circuit.
When you have a short circuit, don't get tempted to just start replacing parts.
