12v socket at dashboard not working
Just discovered that the 12v socket ( which has replaced the cigarette lighter socket) does not have power. Checked fused but cannot find any blown fuses. Could the socket be faulty?

99% chance on fuse
I'd double check more brown/blue fuses ✔️

Did you check with a multimeter? sometimes it's the plug and Im sure you know it only works with the ignition on, In my '03 the plug on the back of the power socket came loose, I wiggled it and pushed it back on with a pick tool and it worked again?

With you multimeter...
If all fuses are good 
Then:
Then:
- Confirm you're missing the +12 side
- Check the GND path is nearly good
