maybe the wires are cut

There is a plug on the wires that might be disconnected. It's right behind the cig lighter.

If all else fails trying to find where the wires have been cut/shorted you can always just run a new wire from the fuse box and take it to your cig lighter and then ground a wire and run it to the cig lighter as well. That is what i would do, sometimes it is not worth messing with all the wires.

ayt thanks guys ...is the cigarette lighter light connected to the power wire of the cigarette lighter do the cigarette light and lighter have different power supply

The other guys already answered you good. I just wanted to say if you can take out your radio easily you could see how the wiring is back there. Without having to remove the dash trim. And then you could see if a wire is cut or that plug is pulled. There's a few red and black wires back there that connect the lights and the cig lighter.
