12v cigarette lighter/socket problem

[Infident]

Hello berlino people!

I come looking for advice. I was doing some interior repaint on the plastic piece around gear shifter. Removed the 12v socket connections, no problems, but when I started to put the piece back the 12v sockets didn't work. Found a blown 20A fuse which I replaced but as soon as I turn the ignition the fuse blows again.

I'm no electrician but I'm assuming it's caused by a short, but for the hell of me I couldn't figure out how since the wires and connections look fine. Does anyone know what should I check, or should I just get some new sockets? Thanks in advance

Trace back your steps, something in the cigarette lighter is shorting

yeah it was, didn't bother to find out how to fix it so I just replaced it from the one that's in the modutop
