Probably a bad element on the lighter itself. the bad news is lighter & housing usually don't come separate. The good news is they are cheap & easy to install. Diameter most fairly universal. Rear housing unscrews & is a 1 wire hookup (most) Auto parts retailers have universals for like 10.00 (US)

How do you replace the cigarette lighter in a 1997 Ford Escort LX?
I would go to your public library and get a copy of the Ford factory workshop manual for '97 Escort. They will give detailed instructions with diagrams how to do this. I have a '95 Escort and my factory manual shows how to disassemble the console and remove the section where the cig. lighter is mounted and how to remove it. Be patient, don't do this job when you are tired or cranky ;-)
