Rear cigarette lighter out

I have a 2004 Excursion that has a cigarette lighter out in the back. I have checked the fuse and its good. The other two lighters in the front that also work. What can I do to fix this?

If you'e trying to use it as a "cigarette lighter" in lieu of its designed use as a power port for electronic gizmos, then I doubt there's sufficient amperage to heat a cigarette lighter's element.

My mistake, I am using it as a power port but describing it as a cigarette lighter. I had an inverter plugged into it and it shorted out the inverter.
