i had the same problem. there is no cigarette lighter fuse. check your fuses in the fusebox (find it in the owners manual). if none are busted then buy a new cigarette lighter inside part (10 bucks), take it to a cheap shop (10-15 bucks) and its done. 20-25 bucks cant be too much. that's what i did. also now that it works the electrical circute in the car works alot better and my subs bump harder :)
How do you repair a non-working cigarette lighter?
In most cases, a blown fuse is the problem. Check the fuse box. The fuse box should have a diagram on the cover that shows which fuses are for which circuits. Find the cigarette lighter fuse and check it. If it's bad, replace it. If the fuse blows again, you have an electrical problem that a mechanic will need to check out. If the fuse wasn't bad to begin with, there's probably an issue with the wiring between the fuse box and the lighter. You'll need to have that checked as well.
