This is normal. Your cigarette lighter fuse is most probably blown and needs replacement. Check out user manual for fuse number.

Penny dropped into the cigarette lighter of my 2008 saturn astra. I got the penny out, but the cigarette lighter doesn't work
hi,

there must have been a weak connection somewhere in the line.
use a volt meter to trace from the lighter to the fuse box.
I have also seen the wire connection go bad during a short in the back of the fuse box itself where the wire goes in.
follow the 12 volts and you will find your problem.

Power outlet in rear 2001 town and country van is not working. the others in the front are. how do i fix rear outlet?
It probably has it's own fuse. some times kids put things in the lighter sockets or stuff just falls in there. Pennies are real popular for causing that. Either that or a higher amp device was plugged in the socket and blew the fuse.

A penny fell in my car cigarette lighter and sparks when I try to get it out. How do I remove it?
Find the fuse that supplies power to the lighter socket and remove it (It may already be blown). Once that is done you can safely remove it with a thin screwdriver or tweezers.
