If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.

Check the fuse. If you use a phone charger or any other aux device in the cigarette lighter most likely blew it.
its the fuse
take a close look at the lighter itself. It's 14 years old and might have a short-circuit in it. You can test that with resistance meter.
