First, pull the lighter out, then install a new fuse, if it does not blow the cig lighter element is no good. If not, look down in the car side of the lighter, do you see anything in it? If not, grab the vacum and use the hose attachment, turn on the vac and place the hose right over the opening of the car side, anything down there will get sucked out. try a new fuse now, does it work? If not then I suspect one of the grounding wings in the base is bent, rare but it happens
