buy a box of matches???
Try fuse first.
Probabally need a multimeter or test lamp
Can also have cooked where the wire joins the lighter

Matches wouldn't help charge my phone  And besides if anyone
dared to light a flame in my car would find themselves on the sidewalk in not time!
Thanks for the advice, will go and inspect

A lot of older models didn't come with a factory cigarette light; the dealer often fitted an aftermarket unit, or even a previous owner. You may
find that there is an inline fuse in the power supply line to the cigarette lighter, and its location may not be immediately obvious.
