Is it blowing a fuse when the cigarette lighter is in it? As it sounds like it is shorting out.
Check insode it for any debris.
It's only blowing a fuse be ause it's shorting out. Just need to work out why lol
Use a test light over the fuse. An disconnect parts of the circuit until light goes out.
When light goes out that's the part of the circuit with short.
But to start make sure no rust inside the actual power socket
It'll probably be as mentioned either debris in the socket or corrosion. Simplest way to narrow it down is to disconnect the plug from the socket assmebly, replace the blown fuse, and turn on the ignition. If the fuse doesn't blow then it's the socket at fault. Either investigate further or replace - a new socket isn't that expensive.
