What do you do when your cigarette lighter keeps burning fuses even if they are new and how hard is it to replace the whole lighter?

The problem is probably in the element, the part that gets hot, not in the socket, the part that is in the dashboard. Most auto supply stores carry replacement lighters, or you can find them in a junkyard. Your plug in is probably shorted out or maybe you have some foreign metal in the socket. Try plugging in another lighter. If the fuse blows without the plug in being pushed in, the socket is bad.

Just pull all the fuses out and check them.
