Default problem with car lighter/charger

mine stopped working..
i dont know what i did but whenever i push the lighter it pops right back out, i used to be able to hold it in with my thumb for a few seconds and when i take it out it would be hot, but not not even doing that will work, my car charger wont charge when i connect it either, it only works when i connect it to the one under the arm rest

im still under warranty, will this be covered?

I was told when I purchased my 09 250 that I should never use the cigarette lighter as a car charger... because it would break...anyone else told this?

check the fuse under the hood or under the passenger side compartments... it should be a blown fuse

Check your fuse before you try bringing it to the dealership. Mine recently blew.
