    Apparently there is a CIG 15A fuse, somewhere, so look for that first.

    Or just grab a multimeter and see if it has 12V at the socket. If it does, then it might not be connecting with whatever you are pluging into it.
    On my other car, I once had to bend out the middle 12V pin to make contact. Over time with heat they can bend themselves away and loose connection.

    might not be much help, but mine use to not work. Unplugged the plug out of the back and put it back in and it worked, so probably the problem would have been what Kane just mentioned
