So, I went to use the 12V plug next to the radio and it didn't work. I checked the fuse,which was popped, so I went to put in another one. As I was putting itin it sparked. With another fuse I tried it really slowly and realized that it was arcing. Not sure why. The Data port and the Cigar lighter are on the same circuit, right? I took the center console apart and the radio console and couldn't find any exposed wires. I think there is an exposed wire, but I am not sure. Any of you geniuses have some ideas? You guys have always been pretty helpful. I just can't figure out what is going on.:huh:
 
Look in the rear power port as well. I have seen where a coin gets into it and pops the fuse.

They are on the same link..
