I agree. It would blow a fuse. Why do people still get a short and a battery draw confused? Headlights on for ten min. is a battery draw! Headlight quitting and finding a blown fuse is a short! A headlight not working and no power to it is an open! For some reason your battery did not have enough reserve in it to restart, so the battery's correct, right. so why was it weak? Check alternator output voltage as well as amperage and ck belt tension. Then report back with the test results so we can help. Be aware that all these tests are to be done with a fully recharged battery, not before!
