Cigarette ligher fuse keeps blowing
#2
It's probably blowing because there is a short somewhere in the wiring.
Are you using the cigarette plug to power something? A phone charger or radar detector? If so, I would look for a fault in those chargers. If not, you need to trace the wiring and see where the short could be.
The fuse is doing its job, protecting the circuit from too much power.
How long has it been doing this?
Did you install the proper (25amp IIRC) fuse in the proper location? (fuse box behind the battery in the trunk/boot on my 308)

Sounds like a short -- I thought the only thing powered by that fuse is the outlet, so it might be fairly easy to find the short. I'd suggest pulling the outlet and check the wiring.
I'd also check the wiring diagram to see what else might be powered through that fuse and check those (if any).
