Electric Problems

Hey guys I'm having some electrical problems with my my car. I have a 1994 Camry XLE V6. I keep on blowing my 10 Amp fuse for my radio, power antenna, Clock, and cigarette lighter whenever I put something in the lighter to either charge a cell phone. The only thing that has changed in my car is a new stereo system and new speakers thats all. What could I do to solve this? I've been told to run new wiring to the cigarette lighter straight from the battery.

Get a flashlight and look inside the outlet. It could be that the part at the bottom has broken and when you put in a plug it forces the positive into the ground. Does it do this with every plug or just the one for the cell phone?

I had a friend who had this exact problem with his 98 Camry XLE. It turned out to be his cellphone charger. Like Kep questioned above, have you tried something else in the cigarette lighter socket?
