    You're going to need a multimeter to check for voltage. The middle contact on a cigarette lighter socket is the positive. most likely there is a fuse blown for the socket.

    the fuse should be in the small box under the stearin wheel! if im rite it wil be a yellow fuse, there wil be a lillte legend on the back of the plastic cover! dont go to a garage wit this jst pick up a fuse in halfords or sumwhere like it, simple job not even t5 min! cant dumb it down any more than that! not callin u dumb by the way!
