Default electronic issue 4wd tripping beaker help needed

I have a 90 trail boss 4wd. All the electronics on the quad seems to be working fine, however when I flip the 4wd switch the indicator light comes on for about 2 seconds then I hear the inline 10amp circuit beaker tripping. If i leave the switch alone I can hear the beaker reset and it trips off again at the same time the 4wd is not engaging. I did notice the reverse over-ride switch looks like its pressed in (stuck in) . I`m leaning towards a dead short somewhere and I will find it but thought someone here, may have had the same problem and could save me some time as to where to look.
Thanks.

THREAD UPDATE: Short has been narrowed down to the right front wheel. When I unplug the power supply wire to the engagement coil the other wheel stays locked and the circuit beaker dont trip. I`ll figure out what the problem is tomorrow and post it here. Thanks for all the help Jaster94.

Turns out that the magnetic coil in the right front wheel is toast, I was hoping it was a broken wire. looks like i`m off to get raped at the steelership.
