there are two wires from the window break light one to live and other to ground (clean the ground wire to ensure a good connection and the same with any other grounding points

You may also have an incorrect bulb or blown bulb. Sometimes the filament in the dual filament bulbs will fall on to the other filament causing a short to that circuit. Can cause weird stuff like that to happen.
