Default Rear Power Outlet

Hi, I just realized that my rear power outlet is not working. I found the fuse, and it is blown. I put another fuse in and it blows immediately when I push the switch below steering wheel to turn on rear power. Must be a short somewhere as nothing is plugged in to the outlet. Would the most likely location of the short be the outlet itself? Also, can someone confirm the location of the high voltage converter- is it near the rear outlet behind the panel? This is not a huge issue to me, but I may try to fix on my own if I can determine where the short is located. Thanks!

I think the converter is in the back behind the cargo area side panel on the passenger side.

You can see the inverter in this photo from another post:

It's the square box above the fan, to the right of the subwoofer.

Thank you for the help! Coincidentally, I also have a problem with the carpet getting wet in the back, so I will check out the rear A/C drain when I remove the panel to inspect the outlet and power inverter.
