Default 1985 cig lighter

My cigarette lighter doesnt work on my 1985 vette. Is there a fuse somewhere that is linked to this or is there something i can check to fix it. There is no power to it at all. Thanks,

Tyler

Check the fuse marked as CTSY/CLK 15 AMP Fuse. Also if you go to this webpage I have posted the diagram from Helms

If that fuse was out your radio and interior lights wouldn't work.

More likely the plug just came loose from the back of the lighter housing. It can be tricky to install while putting the console plate back in. I'd check that first.
