Default fuse keeps blowing...

I have an 85 GT convertible and every other time i go to plug in my radar detector the fuse for the cig lighter, horn, clock and the indicator thing next to the clock blows. I think thats all thats on the fuse, but why would it keep blowing? Is the radar pushing it over what it can handle and if so how can i fix it so i can use my radar detector, or even cell phone charger if thatblows it too?

Maybe the receptical is shorted. Take a look inside it and see if you can see something stuck in there. If not, it's probably bad.

make sure a penny hasn't fallen in there!!!I've seen that one a few times...also as Pro50sc says if it only shorts when you plug in your receptical then your jack is probably shorted
