I have a 2000 TJ that I have never checked to see if the cigarette lighter worked because I don’t smoke. I have an upcoming trip that I wanted to use the cigarette lighter to power the GPS on my phone. When I plugged in the cigarette lighter to power my phone it seems the cigarette lighter is dead. Does anyone have any suggestions for things a newbie like myself can try to see if I can get this problem fixed? Like I said I’m a newbie so if anyone has suggestions to fix this problem I would really appreciate i.
Cigarette lighter not working

Did you try it with the key off, or on? on my '05 the lighter works with key, the 12v outlet is on all the time.
If you've already followed Artsifrtsi's advice, I'd suggest checking the fuse first, then pull the trim off and make sure the spade connectors are on the tabs for the socket. After that, you'll need to grab a volt/ohm meter and check the wiring.
To check the wiring, start by downloading the Factory Service Manual (FSM) from the Resources forum. Here's a link:

The wiring diagram you seek is on page 8Q-41-2. Here's an image of it:
From that, you can see there are two fuses (Fuse 15 in the PDC under the hood and Fuse 19 in the fuse block behind the glove compartment door) and a relay between the battery and the outlet. Check those first, then check the wiring (both + and -).
Good luck!
