You might have a short or electrical problem, check the wiring for your radar detector. If it's not hardwired check the part that goes into the lighter sometimes it will get loose and the fuse will not make contact properly and cause a small short.

Seeing that they are all in a similar location (the center console) I would say it's a loose ground. Butt my theory is useless without the wiring schematics for the car.
