Cigarette lighter socket dead

[favero]

Hi all

I recently bought a dashcam which means I had to connect it to the cigarette lighter socket. Now it initially worked for a few days. When driving up the A19 to the Tyne tunnel it mysteriously turned off. I checked later and one of the prongs in the adapter had fell out actually inside the adaptor. Thought no big deal just use my back up dual sub socket one, but no joy - still dead. So reasoned the metal prong thing coming lose had caused the fuse to short, so checked it and no proper sign it had died. Anyway I bought a new one from Maplins thinking this should resolve the fault anyway. You've guessed it still doesn't work. Where do I go from here? Please help?

local scrappy mate, just pop out with flat head screw driver, unpug connector, check fuse first, chanced may be that but block connection is looking the main culprit
