Default Blowin Fuses

I have a 2003 Durango that keeps blowing the 20A fuses in the box. The fuse is for the 12V power outlets..

Are you using any of those power outlets to run a accessory? A lot of times it is the accessory causing it to blow.
If you have several outlets, unplug one at a time and check if the fuse blows again. You may have a outlet shorting also.
Hope this can help. Let me know.......

I have seen a lot of cell phone chargers blow the fuse. It is caused by poor contact in the outlet socket. I have cleaned them out and bent the tabs on the charger connector to help get a good contact.
