I keep blowing fuses for the cigarette lighter. Seems to be happening alot as I plug the cell phone in to be charged. It will work fine, then all of a sudden I plug the charger in & the charger does not lite up. So I check the fuse & sure enough, needs to be replaced. Could I need a new cigarette lighter?

Try the car charger in another vehicle and see if it does the same. If so, get a new charger. If not, start looking for a short.

I had a similar thing happen to my max. Returned the POS charger and never had another issue, so I would try the charger in another car like said above.
