 From many vehicles I have seen blowing the #3(bottom) fuse, it almost always has been the cigarette lighter, where the purple(hot) wire is grounding on the casing.
Remove the 2, #2 cross point screws from the rear of the center console, unscrew the shift knob and loosen the tie-around string, and from the passenger side slightly lift the console to expose the 3 wires for the cigarette lighter(purple, black{ground} and red{light for night time). Using a VOM, check to see of the center post(purple) is grounding somewhere to the casing.
Best of luck, bruce
