Um.... start looking for the fault? It could be anywhere in the circuit, but most likely at the outlet itself.

Lighter short

I used to have that same thing going on but the reason mine was doing it you might want to check to see if any wires are touching the frame they had a cut ABS sensor wiring it was shorting out to the frame and I was constantly having to replace my fuse
