Cigarette lighter not catching

another problem NAM,

my cigarette lighter/aux power is having issues.
when i stick a charger in the socket it has power, charges, and also has the light in the ring and around it; but when i stick the cigarette lighter in, it doesnt lock the button down to heat up the lighter; and if i hold it down, it doesn't heat it up at allwhat's going on!?! i also tried the rear lighter but that works perfect and catches the lighter and heats it up ( btw, does the lighter/aux ring in the rear supposed to light up?) anyways, i checked the fuse and they all seem to be there and plugged in the way theyre supposed to. please help me.

thanks AGAIN!!

The clips in the sides get bent from using cigarette lighter powered devices. Have had the same issue. Pull the fuse and you should be able to use a pair of insulated pliers to bend them back.
