No need to apologise dxav, I did nothing more important than replacing the oven light. And I think that's why I gained an astonishing 37 pounds. If the light had not been on, those evil calories that make me sleepy and fat would never have been able to grow. :)
Yes, all her interior lights work.
I may call one of the dealers like you said, I just don't like the attitude that some take towards do-it-yourselfers. (no offense to anyone)
Short of taking apart the fuse box under the hood and tracing the orange wire through the loom to the lighter I can't think of anything else to do to find the break.
Thanks for your continued attention dxav

No problem. Can you take the lighter out and test the wires behind the unit? Maybe the connections to the lighter are loose.
Be honest if you call the dealer. Just tell them your lighter doesn't work, and ask for the location of the fuse.
I seem to remember when I blew my lighter fuse, it was the only electrical thing that didn't work. I seem to remember the fuse located on the left side where the passenger sits. If you are looking at the radio, down and to the right a panel should pop off. Check all the fuses there, even if you don't know which is which. The inside of the panel should give a chart, too.
Good luck,
DXAV

Hi dxav,
I checked the wires at the back of the plug first thing.
Had a good ground but no 12 volt.
Next time my daughter comes by I'll look for that panel you mentioned. I'll let you know.
Thanks again

Mr.dxav you are the man. My daughter came by the other evening and there is a fuse panel on the passenger side of the console. I have no valid excuse except for dumassiotis for not finding it before. For any others who care the fuse was labeled SUN. It is about in the middle of the block.
I popped in a 20 then a 25 and they both blew instantly when I inserted the cigarette lighter plug. (there was no fuse even in the socket before I started)
So I told her to go get a replacement lighter plug and then we will see.
I did not expect a fuse panel to be located where you said it was. Surprised the crap out of me. Thanks much Amigo.
my forte is analog electronics so if I can ever help in that respect I would be honored to do so.
Thanks again for your help

And also, there is no glove-box light.
(she got one of the cheap ones I guess) :)
Thanks to all
