Default fuse blows on one switch.. when you turn the light off!

Hi guys,
just taken out a horrible lumo tube from my kitchen and now putting
all back together. Got all the lights downstairs working but one. When
I turn the main fuse back on in the box, the lights are all on, but
when i turn out the odd one at the switch, the main fuse blows.
Its all being done from one ceiling rose. But the light that is
mysteriously blowing has odd wiring, it comes out of the ceiling as
earth, yellow, red and blue. The way the light works is i have the
yellow going to the live and the blue going to neutral and earth to
earth. this is the only way the light turns on, so i am left with a
red that is loose, either way it still blows when you turn it off.
any help would be top!
thanks alot.
