Check the continuity between the center cig lighter center terminal and it's body. They should be separate. No continuity

Time for a new socket.
What's the part number on that socket? I've been wanting to replace my rusty old one but can't seem to figure out what'll give me a bolt-in replacement.
Cool, good to know. I may just leave my original alone and put in a couple of new ones under the dash since the stock location plays so poorly with 3rd gear and long 12v plugs.
I often would drive with the window down & foam earplugs in on long trips.
This little plastic container (case) that comes with the Hearos earplugs fits perfectly in the cig lighter socket. Nice snug fit. Never lose my earplugs.

Check if the Blue Sea cigarette lighter will mount to the side of the crap pocket. I mounted a couple of USB chargers in there.
Read through this old thread. I've got a bit of a different problem. My cigarette lighter works to power phones and other accessories plugged into it... however, the cigarette lighter itself won't heat up. Should I assume that the actual cigarette lighter is bad and the socket is fine? (i tried to replace it with a cheapy one from Autozone and that didn't work).
