I keep blowing a number ten fuse in the fuse panel located next to passenger left leg. it controls the dome light and drivers door key-less lock/unlock. when I replace the fuse it does not blow right away it works for a few days then it will blow. i am stumped as to what could possibly be blowing it. phone charger?
what can I look for?

The cigarette lighter is a different circuit the body fuse is the trunk release dome light part of the door lock circuit etc. If you have a sunroof that is part of it as well as power mirrors. I have seen a lot different things blow that fuse pinched wire on the passenger mirror pinched wire in the trunk hinge pinched wire in the sunroof module etc.
