A short? Take a good look inside and see if something fell in there and is shorting it out and tripping the fuse.

The only time I blew mine was when I used it to run a air compressor that drew more than 15 amps.

Mine blew once when a penny fell into the socket. It was pretty easy to tell what happened though. No big mystery. Uh... you don't have a penny in your lighter socket, do you?

Peace... Mack
