It's your stop light switch. They are extremely rugged but like anything, a failure, though remote, is always possible. You can service it easily, just remove it for testing. Very easily disassembled for service if needed. Yes, if you have a short in the brake light circuit it will show on the ammeter, as will a short almost anywhere in your electrical system. Is your short only occurring when you apply the brakes?
Your brake light bulbs are also activated as "backing lights", using some of the same circuitry, via a switch on the rear of the transmission. The wiring is quite clearly shown on wiring diagrams available on The Packard Club website, in the 33-36 parts list available on this site, and elsewhere.
If you need those large oversize glass fuses, they are available from NAPA as an exact duplicate of the originals, #782-1017 for 20 amp, 782-1019 for 30 amp.
