Tyre not inflating through cigarette lighter?

bought a 12v tyre inflator but isn't working. Am I meant to have the engine on so power it, I assume so. Tried it with it on and off and no power to the machine, doesn't make any noise at all, have plugged it into cig lighter, switched it on and nothing. Even changed fuse and nothing. The lighter powers other things but not this. I have a citroen C3. When somebody else tried theirs it worked for 2 seconds then broke. Do Citroens not like tyre inflators for some reason????

sometimes with the sides of the jack plug being spring loaded you have to give it a Little bit more push or go back to where you purchased it and ask to try a new one it might just be faulty
