Electrical Problem!! specifically w/ my cig lighter

ok, so I overloaded my cigarette lighter in my s13, now I'm not getting any power in it. I checked my cig lighter fuse in the kick panel, and it seems fine. what can the problem be?

test the wires going to the cig lighter. most likely you fried the assembly. if the wires test good, get a new lighter; if the test bad, keep tracing the wires back.

yeah.. I know for a fact that the cig lighter outlet isn't the problem, I'm not getting any power whatsoever from the wires (*tested*). So am I supposed to just follow the wires to see if I see some sort of "fried" wiring going on?

Also, my turbo timer stopped timing down after I take my keys out the ignition.. you think that's relavant? The TT still works, I mean it turns on, it just doesn't time down anymore (it turns off right after I take my keys out).
