Do you have to ruin everything?!
Oh, I thought you were talking about the ones that "jump" the car through the cigarette socket, not the ones that can be charged up from the cigarette socket.

Here's what I thought you were talking about:

Cigarette sockets are usually protected by a 10a fuse, so they can charge a jump pack slowly, but aren't very practical for going the other direction to jump the main vehicle battery.

To fix your cigarette socket, check the fuse first. If that's good, check the wires at the back of the socket. They sometimes come loose.
