I just bought a 1999 jeep wrangler. Everything workes, all of the electric, except the cigarette lighter doesnt work. I want to hook my ipod up, but i cant for this reason, and my jeep doesnt have a cassette player. anyother suggestions or a way to fix the lighter and how much it will cost?? thanks!
can a lighter be impossible to fix, or something internally that cannot be done?
 
Your 12V DC power socket could possibly be dirty or corroded, in which case a small wire brush would suffice to clean it(be sure to disconnect the positive battery terminal first). However, if that fails to fix it, you may have to examine the possibility that it has shorted out or is simply broken. In that case, the easiest thing to do would be to buy one at a local car parts store or Wal-mart and simply cut, strip and reconnect the wires to the new one yourself(once again, disconnecting the positive battery terminal first). Online they run around $8.99(Advance Auto) for a basic model or $9.99(Auto Zone) for a dual socket.
