not on all models but as Sky says check and see how many wires it is, and also check and see if the lighter working. the cig lighter have a fuse for itself if i remember correctly so check the fuses in the under dash fuse box

Imagine going above 80 in the night and inside your car's dark. You wanna light a cigg and feel around for with without looking. Light the cigg. Now you gotta look for the hole because it's hot and you don't wanna burn anything by accident. You take your eyes off the bright uncoming lights in the other lane and try to refocus to see the hole clearly. This takes about 5-7 seconds and your eyes aren't on the road then. The light ring's there for a good reason. That was a good addition to any car that has it and is no scene if you're obsessed with it working, or any other "small" thing working for that matter.
