check the fuse, which is most likely it. if thats not the problem, take the dash apart and make sure the plug is connected. if thats still not it, use a VMM to check for power at the end of the plug. if you dont have power rewire from a constant 12v source wire (if you want to be able to use it with the car off) or a switched 12v wire (powered only when the car is switched on). if you do have power, buy a new cig lighter.

mine doesn't work either. i think it may be missing a wire because there is only one connected to it (pretty sure its the hot one), is that why?
