Sounds like the wiring has fused.. Eg a short somewhere.. I would replace the fitting with a modern 12v socket and replace the wire...Tag the new wire to the end of the old and pull through and connect to elecs where the old wires went too..

It may be that the DVD player was the culprit , it may have been a positive earth unit as some cars were/are . Replace the fuse to the socket and try something in it that is definitely negative earth . Better still , if you know someone with a polarity tester , get them to check it for you , far less likely to cause a short that way .
