Mine wasn't working and I had it in for service and asked them to look at it.
There is a fuse. Not sure where or which one.

It is fuse #F9 (a 15 amp fuse) in the fusebox in the engine compartment. To access this particular fusebox, remove the plastic cover near the firewall on the (US) drivers side. See attachment from manual.

Did you have your car serviced sometime between when it was working and stopped working?

If the console was removed it is possible the tech neglected to plug the lighter back in.
