A good place to start is your owners manual. Baring that, on most cars, the power outlet is usually fused from the fuse box located in the engine compartment. (Hot all the time). Remove the box cover and (usually) the box cover has a listing of all the fuses on the inside.

It's a 15 amp (blue) fuze located above the relays on the fuse box. You need to remove the plastic fuse housing under the dash (two screws) and unclip the fuse tray and drop it down. The clips are white and are on the sides of the fuse tray, they just snap and swing back. Once you drop the fuse tray you will see several fuses above the relays. The blue one goes to the cigarette lighter. What a pain.

You need a dc current test light to see if it is getting current, or plug in a cell phone charger to see if you are getting current. Our it could be the the lighter insert, a burnt out element and not the socket.

yes: there is a 15 amp fuse for it located above the relays in the drivers side of the car.. I found it was the top one of the 3 fuses. it is almost impossible to see theses unless you remove the bottom section of the dash under the stering column.
