After checking for voltage with the key in the accessory position, the wiring and fuse, and also for dirt/corrosion/debris in the bottom of the socket, replacement turns out to be not too expensive and somewhat easy. Here's a how-to:
tou can take a test light and being very careful look into the cig. ligher hole and touch the center part to see if it lights if not it is probably a fuse or it has come unplugged or the socket is burned out.if the power outlet is working then the fuse should be good because by the wiring diagram it is powered by the same fuse.if you need to check the fuses they are located on the drivers side of the dash left of steering wheel lower panel. the fuses you need to look for are 15 amp power outlet fuse and a 7.5 acc fuse and there is also a relay that is powered up by these fuses and it is a acc skt relay.if these fuses are good i would go to the panel where the cig. power outlet are located and remove it and check for power and ground with my test light or a volt meter and it could just be unplugged.......good luck and i hope that this will help you let me know if you solved the problem........ if i can be of further help let me know......
Go to this FREE Ford website to view or download the owners manual to see the fuse block diagram for this vehicle on page 168. (if you don't have yours)
The front 12volt outlet/cig is position 32, 20 amp fuse The rear 12volt outlet is position 40, 20 amp fuse
The fuse and relay positions are cast into the under side of the 'power center' (fuse box) cover. The larger boxes are relays of various power (not related to your problem). Check the wire at the rear of the power outlet to see if it is connected. Sometimes a fuse will open due to an element crack, but not be blown. Try another when you find the correct one.
