You should find one single wire (red) running to the back of the lighter socket. It is eithe broken or frayed some place in that wire. The lighter is already grounded through the cars body. Trace the wire down to the fuse box and run a complete new wire! At the very worst, the lighter core may be burned out! Any junk yard will probably give you one ot at the very most you may pay 2 or 3 bucks.

Well I had a 1995 Protege but I think is on the same place. It's beehint the right corner of the front cover. You have to remove the black cover under the car to see it. Mazda hide pretty well.
