SOURCE: cigarette lighter fuse location

The cigarette fuse is located in the battery junction box under the hood, it is fuse # 10 and is a 20A fuse, open the hood and find the box it is on the passenger side towards the back of the compartment, it is 10th in line on the top row, also you can check these fuses without removing them through the clear plastic top so that should make things a little easier too, hope this helps

I had exactly same problem. I could not use my GPS or charge my cell phone.
In front of the driver sit, there are actually 2 fuse boxes. You probably found the first one. A second one is located above well hidden. Once you find it, you'll find the fuse you are looking for.

VW T28 84 TDI Transporter cigarette lighter not working
There are at least two reasons why this could be happening. Firstly (and this has happened to me) there could be a foreign body dropped inside the lighter socket, preventing electrical contact. Have a look and remove. Secondly the fuse to the cigarette lighter may be blown. Beware! Fuses do not blow without a reason. If blown, it could be that a conducting foreign body may have been dropped into the socket. Remove the fuse cover and locate the appropriate fuse. DO NOT REPLACE WITH A HIGHER AMPERAGE FUSE. Should be no more than 20 amps. If the fuse blows again, try the lighter on another vehicle. ( A good friend??) If that blows the fuse too then the lighter is faulty with a low resistance. If not then the lighter circuit on the vehicle needs to be checked by an auto electrician. Good luck!
Cheers, Don.

My cigarette lighter do not work
Just go buy a BIC LIGHTER, lol. Just kiddin. If it's the lighter on your CAR, then see if there's a fuse in the fuse box, usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side, and see if you can find a fuse that's burnt out. If that doesn't solve the problem, or you can't find the fuses or don't feel comfortable taking them out and putting them back in, you'll have to take the car to a mechanic who knows how to do that, and also knows how to replace the lighter if that becomes necessary.

Cigarette lighter on 2004 Grand Prix isn't working.
The lighter socket or the element.
Check the element for burn marks and the socket for debris blocking the contacts.
