If fuse is good, then replace the lighter itself or the entire lighter assembly. **added 12/18/2007: Personally, I rewired the cigarette lighter. I was sick of it only operating with the key in the ignition (i wanted to charge my cel in m car while I was at work), and I am pretty sure it will work if your lighter is completely inop.. I wired the positive lead (center terminal) to the constant power supply to my radio, as it was the closest. However, there are dangers to doing this, so I also put a 7.5 amp fuse in line with the power lead as well as a diode (makes sure power only travels in one direction).
