If you haven't already done so, you might want to check the fuse. If it is fried, replace it and see if you have 12vdc at the connector. If it pops again, you will have to find the short.

If the fuse is ok, the next thing to look at would be the connectors at the back of the outlet, and the integrity of the outlet. If all of that is ok, trace the ground wire and check that it is securely bonded to it's ground point. If the ground is ok, you will need to move down the harness and check the connector.

If you haven't found the problem after all of that it will probably need to be checked by a shop.
