You guys are really funny. I use a can or ash try for butts, there are plenty of family members that come before you at my graveside and no I have not taped into any electrical. I have a CB but I straight wired it to the battery.

ya sounds like a fuse to me too, 9 times out of 10 thats all it is. And if you have a cheap after market cig lighter it can be internally shorted or causes shorts intermittently if there is loose connections inside. The fuse box is in the engine compartment on the right side in front of the battery. If you take the lid off the fuse box (its hinged but it still pops off the hinges). On the bottom side of the lid there is a table and map that tells you what the fuse is and where its located in the fuse block. Make sure you are checking the right fuse sometimes that fuse diagram can be confusing to read. That should help you find the fuse. Goodluck

Yep.... gotta be a fuse. I know you can get a replacement Mopar lighter for about $12 or the whole smoker's kit (with ashtray) for about 20...

Default same thing with me

i have the same problem, expect my left outlet NEVER worked whether the car is on or not. i checked all the fuses in the manual (m6, m7 and m36) but they're fine.

Check those fuses first. Hey, at least you got to use yours a little bit!

Wanna bet?

I've been there. Quitting smoking is all about one thing... telling yourself that you don't like being controlled. It's true it takes will power to quit, but I think it takes a very, very weak willed person to allow themselves to be controlled by something that they KNOW is destined to kill them.

A few good shots of some smoker lungs is all it took for me. It ain't pretty that's for sure.
