Ciggy lighters generally have an independent fuse. Either in the engine fusebox or more commonly under the dash as an inline fuse. Normally directly behind the fitting. Fuse No 12 @ 20amp mate.
the fuse will be 1 of 3

cig
radio
if your radio is not working also try the radio fuse, some older vehicle have the cigar lighter tied into the radio fusable link
1. Check the fuse #41 in the cab fuse panel. If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford : https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals/default.asp
2. Are you using a device ( MP3 player, GPS, etc ) to test that it is not working, or a meter ? - Could be the fuse in the tip of the DC adapter for the device is blown.
I'm not familiar with that car, but you might be certain they have a proper ground. Also, many cigar lighters have a fuseable link on the back where the power plugs on. I've seen the links corrode up and quit working. You merely crimp where they attach and it will work again. Some stereos (after market) have a separate fuse inline (not only the vehicle radio fuse). You might also just change the fuse. I've seen some that looked good, but had a hairline fracture and therefore did not conduct. I hope this helps you find your problem.
