57 lighter fuse

The lighter on my 57 doesn't work. First thought is fuse, but I can't find it. I pulled the lighter assembly and it looks like this starting from the knob:
knob
"LIGHTER" bezel
the element that actually lights the cigar, which the knob screws into
an approx 3" tube that is threaded at the bottom
at the bottom of this tube is a gizmo that has clamps that hold the element when the knob is pushed in. Extending out the bottom of this gizmo is the post for the electrical connection, and a small tab that sticks out not quite as far as the post.
This tube then threads into a metal sheath that is what gets crammed into the dash opening.

Is the fuse located in this "gizmo" ? If so, how do I replace it?
If it's not there, where?
