Any suggestions? are you running anything that draws excessive power? if your not, a wire could have a bare spot and touching something to cause the fuse to blow. back when i had my old car, the plug to my spotlight broke off in the lighter, my friend tried getting it out with a key, needless to say it shocked the [censored] out of him, blowing a fuse, and taking out my power locks in the process Russell Oval Port 3L Nearly Done MTX75 w/ Homebrew Zetec FD and Torsen Complete

I think the lighter itself blew it out cause it was sticking in there a bit. 98 Contour SE Zetec ATX Chevy Corsicas Fear me! 100K and still going strong!
