The only way to resolve this problem is to cut out the shorted portion and splice the wire together. Did you bring your tool box out of the garage? No, but you do have your trusty Leatherman Sideclip with the wire cutter and pliers. Cut the short out, strip the ends of the wires and splice them together. Now you are on your way.
