It's probably the wires leading to the lighter. Mine is loose and it only works if I jostle it a little. Bad connection at the lighter. I just haven't felt like taking apart the console to check it out. If it were a fuse there would be other things out too.

but they're 2 one in in console and one on the shifter boot and both are inoperable
Ahhh...check fuse box under the hood. There is a 60a ABS fuse then a convertable top fuse space (should be empty on the coupe) and the next one is for the cig lighter, power point and lumbar seats( if equipt). It is a 20 amp fuse.

Maybe the wires got melted off the back of the cigarette lighter receptacle from excessive heat off the lighter? If it is not the fuse there must be a frayed or broken wire somewhere...
