too much power is being drawn through the fuse

have you checked your grounds and everything? maybe something is shorting out?

in addition to the radio, fuse #9 is the power outlet. do you have
something plugged into it?
if not, you likely have a loose wire somewhere which is shorting out.

hmmm...maybe someone else will chime in now...i don't think that would be causing problems unless someone else had jacked with the grounds, or the connections could just be bad...

is there any correlation between using the lighter jack to charge your phone and the first fuse blowing? how about unplugging the charger and see if a fuse still blows?

well it's been like 2 days since my fuse went out again so im good so far. I'm not very good with electric stuff so i left everything as is. I don't think the charger had anything to do with the fuse but so far everything is good so hopefully it was just a fluke >.< thanks for all the replies so far.
