Default 12volt Cigarette Lighter Fuse Keeps Blowing

The cigarette lighter below the radio keeps blowing, every time I put the GPS in. GPS is a low draw and it doesn't happen on the other 2 cars. Its a short, but probably not easy to find-any suggestions?

check to see if there anything in the cigarette lighter sometime a penny can get in there or a metal object.

just had mine in for service, they said there is a metal piece, a ground, that was smashed in they bent back and its working like money. Alternatively, it was only 20 bucks for them to fix.

good luck
