Default Cigar lighter

Hi guys n gals.
I had a slow puncture in my 06 hawkeye so I used my plug in pump and when it got to 32psi it stoped so I unpluged it and found the plug was hot. now the socket will not work. I've checked the fuse and its ok.
Any ideas.

There's a piece of fuse wire soldered to the back of the cigarette lighter aswell as the fuse.
I over loaded mine once and that "popped" before the fuse did. I soldered a piece of wire there instead.
