15 amp lights CB Tripping

I am trying to avoid taking my 2002 Journey DL 36GD to the shop for this issue due to anticipated troubleshooting costs, but that may be my only option. The 15 amp CB for the lights keeps tripping. It's the CB on the bottom row 3rd from the left which controls a reading light, makeup lights, light over mirror in the bedroom and light over the sink in the galley. None of these are critical but just like things to work. I've followed the wiring diagram and removed all fixtures from the circuit and it still trips which tells me it's wiring. Then all of the sudden, I reset it and it didn't trip. I then connected all fixtures back one at a time and still didn't trip. I then drove the MH to get fuel and when I returned to storage, the CB was tripped. The wire going to the CB is market JE6. Any electrical genius's out there that may have any suggestions?

Remove the bulbs. The bulbs sometimes short when they blow creating this problem.

I removed all the light fixtures completely from the circuit. Removed all lights and disconnected wiring including light switches.
