Possibly drawing too many amp's accross the fuse. Another possibility is that the wiring is faulty and there's just too much reistance to provide the amperage needed by whatever you're plugging in, or there's a short in whatever you're plugging in.

It all varies. If the coil doesn't heat up, it could be a couple things.
Most obvious would be the coil/lighter itself is just bad.
Socket could be corroded and too dirty to make a good connection
Popped fuse (CIGAR on the fuse panel)
faulty wiring between panel and lighter socket
