Default Blown accessory outlet

I used an ac/dc power inverter recently in the acc outlet in middle console. Everything worked fine. however the next time i went to charge my phone with its regular charger i blew the fuse. Anytime i try to use it it blows. i took it out the outlet and it looks brand new any help would be appreciated.

How big/strong was the power inverter? It may have over loaded your wiring or the socket and caused it to melt together and short out.

EDIT: Have you tired any other chargers or cig powered cables to make sure its not your cell phone charger?
