To fix the cigarette lighter in your 2000 Ford Explorer XL, first check the fuse box for a blown fuse related to the lighter; replace it if necessary. If the fuse is intact, inspect the lighter socket for debris or damage and ensure the lighter itself is functioning properly. You might also want to test the lighter with a multimeter to check for power. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the wiring might need further inspection or repair.
