Cigarette Lighter, What Did I Do?

Basically I tried plugging something into the cigarette lighter in my center console but i didnt realize a screw had fallen into it and now it doesnt work. Would this be a fuse or something more serious?

It's a common(ish) blown fuse & accessed thru the back of the glove compartment. Most likely the yellow, 20 amp, #54.

Extended length, needlenose pliers will be your friend on this one.
