I've tried replacing the fuse for the cigarette lighter multiple times. And the fuse just keeps popping. Idk what to try next, has this happened to anybody else. I just need a little advice thanks guys
 
The cig lighter circuit is shorted to ground somewhere or you have a shorted device plugged in. You'll have to trace the circuit if it's shorted to ground and find out where.
 
Yeah what white knight said, youll have to follow the circut with a voltage meter to tell where it ends. May sound dumb but make sure nothing is in or making contact with the cigaret lighter it could be a cause.
 
Does it blow a fuse if the lighter element isn't plugged in? If not the lighter element is probably bad.
