Default Front Cig lighter no longer working

My front Cig lighter no longer works, but my back one does. I checked the fuse on the drivers side for it and it's not blown. I just checked the fuses on the passenger side just to be safe and they aren't blown. It was working before and then stopped in the middle of use, before I just replace the cig lighter, is there another issue that could be causing one to work and not the other? It's only used to charge my phone.

If the fuse is good, but the lighter isnt working, I'd pull apart the trim in that area and start looking at the wiring. Maybe a wire got disconnected from the back of the plug or maybe the ground wire doesn't have good connection.

Use a multimeter to figure out which side isn't connected all the way to speed the investigation.
