Cigarette lighter not working

Does anyone know what the problem could be? The fuse is good so I'm not sure what else it would be. It worked not too long ago.

I dont think so. Even the power source on the arm rest is not working.

Unless you use the lighter, I'd cover it with a silver cap. That's what I did in my car.

Do you want it for the lighter or the power supply?

I hope he's using it to light his smokes. It's a free country. Well in theory at least it used to be.

Light em up.

I have the same problem. If someone could direct me to any correct part(s) that may fix it, I'd appreciate it!
