Default Cigarette Lighter Issue

My C-5 only has one issue, for some reason the cigarette lighter is disconnected.. I just noticed this, due to being a non-smoker. I went there cause wanted to connect my radar detector and found the disconnect.

I took a look at it, looks like this may be involved....anyone have this issue or knowledge of the repair/fix

My cig lighter was not functional after a Hurst shifter install..wiring not reattached! also, it can come loose sometimes or the "fuse" may have tripped...any work done on yours where they removed center console to install something? I just use the 12 volt outlet inside the center console when I need to hook up my cell phone charger...

Pull out the ashtray an reach around behind the lighter socket and feel if the connector is disconnected. It is a simple fix to put the connector back in place.
