Hi, this is my first post here. I'm a member over at acurazine.com forums, but I decided to register here to ask a technical question regarding my '95 honda civic ex coupe. I received the car from a relative who had replaced the middle console including the cigarette lighter. The problem I'm having is that when I plug anything into the cigarette lighter, it shorts the radio fuse. I'm unable to use it and I need to fix this so I can plug stuff into it. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

btw, the radio does work, and the cigarette lighter power source is unplugged
