Fuse 13 keeps blowing (Rear Cigarette socket)
Does anyone know what else fuse 13 controls, is it only the cigarette socket in the backseat?
I replaced the blown 15A fuse and it keeps blowing, not sure what to do next...

thanks konigstiger, device in question was a 12v air compressor I use for my tires. I plugged it in to each of the 12v sockets thinking they were all governed by the same fusE, this is not the case as each socket has its own fuse. the compressor blew each of the sockets respective fuse; compressor is at fault. I cut the 12v plug off the end of the power cord and spliced the cables to a 10A AC/DC transformer (brick) and plugged it into a wall outlet (works now). The only drawback is that it is no longer portable.

Splice in alligator clamps to connect compressor directly on battery jump points.

Battery is usually located in the trunk and can be cumbersome to reach. There are jumping points in the hood area where you can access more easily.
