Sometimes the heat and age corrodes the contacts. If the centre pin of the socket has a green / black film coating it, try spraying some electrical contact cleaner (available online from Maplin Electronics / Farnell) into the socket and scrape the muck off the contact with a small screwdriver (remove the fuse first!)
More obvious (but often overlooked), the power to my vectra's socket is only active with the ignition.0
