The majority of vehicle cigarette lighter sockets provide 12 volts. So when you are not using it as a cigarette lighter, you can plug in various 12-volt accessories such as CB radios, radar detectors, lights, etc. Do keep in mind that you cannot use a radar detector in states where that is illegal. In those states, you must unplug it and keep it in the trunk.
12 volts
12v DC
When your cigarette lighter fuse is good and there is voltage measured between the fuse's load side to ground (To check this, use a dc voltmeter or a 12v automotive lamp and an automotive lamp socket. Connect one wire to the fuse and the other wire to the chassis of the vehicle the lamp should glow if voltage is present on the fuse terminal.), check the wire between the fuse and cigarette lighter. This wire should be without cut and when the wire is good then check the connector on the cigarette lighter socket for loose connection or corrosion. One more thing is that, make sure that your cigarette lighter fits the cigarette lighter socket because not all cigarette lighters will work on some cigarette lighter sockets.
