Borrow someone else's phone and charger or some other 12v device, plug it in and see if it works. If it doesn't, it's your 12v socket, wiring or fuse (most likely).

If you really don't know how to check the fuses or use an electrical meter on them and don't want to drive 90 miles, take it to a local mechanic and pay them to troubleshoot it.

 

But I like it! So no worries!!
All things aside, I'm still in school.. as in PhD student, research work and teach as well.. so barely get time outside all that to actually spare time to look and resolve the issues myself unless its a simply fix. I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness.
I've tried all things that were suggested except the fuse box. I did try to look around the area where the hood release button is but wasn't sure so didn't want to pull/push anything that I wasn't sure about. Even if I would find that, I wouldn't know what I am looking at and how to tell if anything is wrong?
Your suggestions are still welcomed

 

So, I checked the fuse box along with the reference guide on the panel as to which one is for cigarette lighter. None of the fuses seem to be blown off. I also tried using a friend's charger and that didn't work either. :-/

Well good thing you posted the same information 3 times, might have gotten by some of us...

 

As always.. like the c**kiness
If you have nothing useful to post, why waste your and my time. Or, if I may, do you have nothing better to do and this is the best use of your time?

 

Ballsy coming from a guy who can't plug his cell phone charger in...
