Fuse problem

Since we don't have a Bluetooth option stock, I thought I would try one of the gizmos plugging into the cigar lighter.
I find that every time I plug in, it blows the fuse.
So I disassembled the panel and got the socket out. I checked for continuity and found the unit was good, no short across the contacts.
I replaced everything and checked again and it seemed ok, leaving it powered up for a minute.
The next time I started the car, it was blown again. Additionally, the window switches quit and that fuse proved to be out too.
My question is if it is likely to be the control module under the seat that has gotten wet? I haven't noticed any leaks before and it didn't seem the carpet was wet.
Thoughts?
