Test the wires to see if any power is going to the lighter, if so, then the lighter itself is bad. If no power, then most likely a fuse.

I'm pretty sure they're on 2 different circuits.

I don't think the outlet in the center console is a cigarette lighter but a power supply for phone charger and such. So you are not getting power to that outlet? How are you testing it? I think it has its own fuse, check to see if it is blown.

You're kidding right? LoL

No, check pages 55 and 56 in the owners manual it states that the outlet in the center console is a power outlet. It only shows 1 cigarette lighter in the car and it is the one in the ashtray
