My car has 140000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

The first thing to do is to have a mechanic like one from YourMechanic to see if the damaged socket can be repaired or the entire fuse box needs to be replaced. In some cases it may be able to be repaired. Only an inspection of the problem will be able to tell if it can be repaired. The fuse box may not be available anymore and will need to have it repair attempted.
