Cig lighter fuse blowing out - Hints? Tips? 900

Hi all,

1996 960 wagon.
Looking for any leads on doing this hunt for a short in my cigarette lighter circuit.
I replace the fuse and it will short out after a few minutes. The car is new to me so I do not have any history on it but I am not terribly surprised because it was not very well taken care of in general either inside or out. Normally I would not care but I need to use it for my GPS.
I do not have the car with me right now and I cannot recall what else is on that fuse but my only idea right now on where to start looking is by pulling out the lighter receptacle and examining that for problems. Anyone other likely suspects I should check out?

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
