Look in the cig lighter socket see if there is anything stuck in there like coins the end of a cell phone charger i have seen all those things blow the fuse.So does the fuse blow as soon as you put the fuse in? Here is a guide to help test the fuse # 17, 7 and 5 in the interior fuse panel with the fuse location in the diagrams below.

In using the cigarette lighter socket for power source for gps system, I found that there is no power. Is there a "cut-off" somewhere for that socket used to kill it unless needed? There is no cigarette lighter, only a plastic "power source" cover.
