Cigarette Lighter Not Working

So I cant seem to figure out why my front cigarette lighter adapter is not working... is there a fuse that I could check? The one in my center console works fine. Is it possible that the adapter has gone thru? The green light ring on it still lights and works.

Had the same issue. Turns out that a metal tab inside the plug wasn't making contact with the cigarette lighter. I just pried the tab a little. If it turns out to be your cigarette lighter, I have a new one I can offfer you. I bought it thinking mine was broke.

i accidentally dropped a coin in there and shorted the fuse. the fuse box is located under the glove box where the kick panel at.

Driver or passenger side?

Well the glove box is on the passenger side so the fuse box is most likely on the same side.

You need to check the fuse box on passenger kick panel and fuse name "power outlet" and CIG (BOTH 15A) IN THE MIDDLE ROLL -top 2 fuses
