in my 98 ranger xlt, which I just picked the truck from the dealer 2 saturdays ago(and no they wont fix it). I put a new lighter in, (after I pushed the org. one right through). So I plugged the wires in and it keeps popping the fuse. It pops the fuse even if the cigarette lighter is not pushed in, or the key is not turned. I pulled the fuse housing out and i cant see if there is a wire bare bc there is a big cluster f#%k of wires, tape, etc... Can I run a straight wire from battery w/ a fuse and grnd off the lighter? just to make it easier. This is just driving me nuts.
