Edit: ignore the previous post, I tracked it down on the wiring diagram. Its the 20A CLK LTR CTSY fuse. Second row from the top, left side.

Thanks Batman. That makes sense. I know my A/C fuse is blown. Just a big pain in the **** to try to squeeze under the dash to get at that fuse!!!!

There's a plug under the console that feeds the lighter - it might be disconnected or the inside of the lighter might be corroded (I had that happen to mine - the bottom contact was filthy.). Courtesy lights, clock and lighter all feed from the same power source. Worse comes to worse, just find the orange wire feeding to the center cluster for the clock and tap into it.

The 77 electrical troubleshooting manual is a great resource, but it can be a bit tricky to find.
