In the meantime can any one give some advise.


My guess is a bad ground for the landing light.


Huh? At worse, a bad ground will lead to little/no lamp output.

I suspect a chaffed/worn wire between the breaker and the lamp.
Usual technique is to put a test lamp in series, at the breaker.
Then wiggle/twist/gently yank/ the wiring. When the test lamp goes
to full brillance; you've found the short.

The trouble here is the landing lamp will pull so much current that
you'll need to use a similar lamp for the tester. Your old one
would do.
