Either that or earth the clip to a known earth ie the door hinge or strap, then touch the tester to the bottom of the cig lighter, that will check the live! You should be able to tell either way where the fault must be!

The easiest thing to do is to pull the ashtray and the surround out and see if it's connected behind. If it is, then you may need to check the fuse.
You'll need a multimeter if you want to do some accurate poking about to see what the problem is. Try Maplin if you need to buy one.

Push the cigarette lighter in. and if it heats up you have power already.
If not check the fuse, probably 22 (10A).
