Description of the problem	While using a 12v air pump plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet with the vehicle off and no key in ignition, it shortly stopped working. Soon after smoke starting coming from behind the dash trim. I quickly disconnected the battery and pulled off the front trim housing the cigarette lighter to find the wire's insulation melted. I then looked for the fuse for that and found it to be melted as well. The fuse was rated at 15a, and the correct fuse recommend by gm. After pulling the fuse, i reconnected the battery and had no more smoke. Using a continuity tester, i checked both wires for, and confirmed, short to ground on both. The entire line of wires going back to the fuse box may be just as melted and thus still shorting to ground.
