Cigarette Lighter outlet

Several months ago I replaced the emergency flasher. I had not plugged anything into the cigarette lighter outlet since then. However a couple of days ago I plugged an air compressor into the lighter outlet and the power pulsed with the flasher. I also plugged in a GPS and the power pulsed with the flasher. It seems to be a ground problem but I'm not sure and if it is where do I start checking?

Thanks.
