Is the main switch by the door on?

Is the fuse for the lights bad?

yes, the light over the sink works and the 2 lights under the front storage work.

The switch was on.  I took out the lights one by on and found the short.

Yeah I have the range hood fan/light not working.  It was intermittent but now it is out completely.  I am assuming I have a short somewhere.

I realize this is a technicality but most light failures are caused by bad or corroded connections, not short circuits. Shorts blow fuses. If all fuses are good you should look for bad connections. Typically these occur at bulb sockets or where wires are connected together with some sort of connecting device such as a wire nut or terminal.
That said, owners have had trouble with wiring abrading against sharp edges in the aluminum framing. This will blow a fuse somewhere so it should be evident as opposed to a bad or corroded connection causing the failure.
Any 20 minute job can be stretched to a week with proper planning
