15 amp lighter fuse keeps blowing, how do I fix it?
My lighter fuse (15 amp blue) keeps blowing. Does any one know what causes this. I have blown 2 fuses in 2 days. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Need more info....
For instance: What do you have plugged into it? Did it blow when you were plugging/unplugging? Did it blow when you start the car?
Mindreading skills a little rusty today.

Sory About that. It blows when the car was started up today. It didn't blow until this afternoon. It was fine this morning. It kept blowing this afternoon. Nothing really notable happened except I looked down and saw the ashtray light off and then I tried the lighter and it didn't heat up. Swapped it out and it was ok and I looked down while driving and it had blown.

sounds like there may be a short behind the switch somewhere.....does it blow when pushing in the lighter or just anytime driving around and u see it's blown? Anything else wired in that circuit to cause more amperage draw?
