Very common for the socket to short out internally. Inspect it then unplug it. If the fuse is ok after you unplg it then you need to replace the socket.
First of all the lighter can be good or bad. Yes there is a fuse. The element that lights the cigarette can be burnt out as well. You can see an open spot if its bad. Usually it get filled of debrie and shorts out eventually. Third the case the lighter plugs into can short out as well for the same reason. A ohm meter is used to test all of these items to determine if bad.
Yes its the problem of fuse.it is located in the trunk space and its fuse number #5. It is a 25 Amp fuse.
in some model car the fuse is located below the rear passenger seat. theres a little kick panel you pull off and the fuse is in that box.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please please do rate the solution

That is the most likely cause. Check your fuse it will be a 15 amp fuse.
Testimonial: "Thanks. The fuse looks ok. Checking connection to the lighter itself."

before u pull panel, check for 12vdc with voltmeter inside lighter socket. If u have it, then clean contacts and/or replace lighter(not socket, wiring is fine) May save a lot of work. If you don't have voltage are you 100% sure you have right fuse and not the one below, above, or next to it? I still make mistakes with numbered fuses, which number is for which fuse. To make sure I start counting at 1.
