Could be 2 possible problems.
1) The power wire that the fuse is blowing on could be shorting out.
Check the wire for breaks or cuts. Look around where the wire is run. A
screw may have nicked the wire. Wire may be pinched by seat or body panel.
Try re-running the wire and test unit again.
2) The changer itself may have shorted internally. If this is the case, it
may not be worth repair.

e-nigma's advice is sound--find the problem *first* and *then* decide
if you want to run a wire to the battery. Yes, it *is* possible to run
such a wire to your battery, but that's not fixing the problem--it's
side-stepping it (rather like putting a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound).
