It's a fuse, there is one for your lighter and one for your radio, even if its marked for both. Both of these (a lighter and radio) draw to much energy for one fuse at the same time.
its the fuse
If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.
Check your fuses in your fuse panel usually that is what is wrong when cigarette lighters and radios quit working.
your 15 A fuse located behind the coin box is blown.
Turn on the radio and start pulling fuses. When the radio stops working, that is the fuse. Try the cigarette lighter fuse first.
Most likely the fuse is blown, many cars have the cigar lighter and the radio on the same circut.
check the fuses in the cab of the car
Just pull all the fuses out and check them. Replace the bad one. that's not really going to help.... remove the cigarette lighter by pulling the trim off the radio there is a fusable link on the cigarette lighter socket itself. you can replace the socket or try to replace the fuseable link its a peice of 14 gauge aluminum wire....
I had the same problem and it was found that the built in radio/CD player was the problem, I had to replace the radio and cigarette lighter. All is well now, check out your radio as fuses kept blowing till i changed the radio.
Under the radio in the center of the dash.
