The info should be in your owners manual.
There should be a 15 or 20amp fuse in the box near the battery for the cig lighter. There may also be one for "power outlet" or accessory outlet.

SOURCE: I plugged a cell phone

there should be a fuse labeled cig or accessory in the fuse block. Check to see if it is blown.

SOURCE: Position of cigarette lighter fuse in a 2000 Chevy Blazer?

Open the drivers side door and open the fuse panel on the dash. the fuse should say ACC or you can just pull them till you find the blown one.

SOURCE: Cigarette lighter plug still does not work after changing fuse.

Possibly the wire has come loose. This happens a lot with lighters! Try putting your finger in ( it won't hurt you, and you won't get electrocuted ), and turning the insides in a clock-wise direction . You will feel the whole lighter tighten up. If this doesn't help, turn it in an anti-clockwise direction. This will take the socket out of the car. Check that the two wires on the back of the lighter are firmly connected. Then put the lighter back in, and hopefully it's OK.

1994 Chevy Silverado 1500 cigarette lighter fuse. Where it is located.

Are you sure your Silverado is a 1994? The first model was a 1999 year.
The fuse for the cigarette lighter is in the engine compartment. A black box near the battery. I've attached an image to show the 2 most likely fuses you will need to check.

Hyundai elantra, cigarette lighter had power up to connector plug but lighter not working.

Two very likely problems. Most likely, cigarette lighter element is "dead". Try one out of another car, since almost every one is the same. Second option is the ground wire, which would complete the circuit to make the lighter work. You need to ground the socket shell, and see if that fixes the problem.

HELLO EJF.

In the underhood fuse panel check the cigarette lighter fuse.
