Have you checked behind the cig? if you taken the dash apart lately maybe you forgot to plug it back in, I've done it before.

that could be the solution.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I checked the back of the cig also and the connectors are connected well. Is there any other place or any thing else you suggest to check, please.

not to sound stupid but did you try the cig lighter when the car was on?

Sometimes the socket itsself goes out (I've been through several in several different cars). Check the wires that plug in to it. If you get 12v through the red one, your socket is bad. They can be bought at Auto Zone, etc. Just make sure you get the right one for your car. If you can't find one, you'll just have to get a little creative making a generic type one work with spliced wires.
