You probably didnt change the right fuse and had another one blown at the same time you also could have a primary fuse under the hood that blew. once fixed dont use pump again. not same amps drawn

Research what else is on the circuit. In the old days when cars had more than one cigarret lighter I discovered that a penny fits in the socket perfectly and would cause a short.
You blew the CIG,RADIO or ACC fuse in the fuse panel, remove and replace with same rated fuse.There is a grounding issue inside the lighter housing from this
there are 3 fuses that operate that. #42 (15 amp) power socket, #18 (10 amp) power socket relay (power socket only operates with key on) and #23 (15 amp ) Cig lighter, key on.... have you checked all 3 fuses??
hopefully nothing serious. if you can, make sure your wires did not burned or got too hot.Visually inspect them. Then, if you have a voltmeter check to see if you getiing power to it. no voltmeter? Go to your nearest auto parts store and ask for a test light.
Back to the lighter, if you have power on the wires or wires leading to the back of the lighter, more than like it you lighter burned out.
No power on the wires? make sure wire did not get fryed or burned, all wires look good? check fuses again.
worst case scenario, can't find problem ? you can run another wire from your fuse box to the lighter.
the cigar lighter fuse most likely blew again, replace the cigar lighter assembly and replace the fuse aggain.
