Default Cigarette lighter plug-in not working any more

I plugged in a Satellite Radio into the cigarette lighter for a couple of years on my 2008 Ultra Classic . All of a sudden the plug in doesn't work any more. Have checked the fuse and it is fine. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Which fuse did you check? On the bike? There might be one in the radio plug, too.

Have you tried anything else in the lighter jack to see if it still gets power?

Yes I have, nothing else works in the plug-in either.

I'm not familiar with the way the wiring is done on the bike, but some general principles apply.

If you've got power at the fuse, and no power at the jack, then the problem is in the wiring between the fuse and the jack. Check the ground at the jack, and work your way through the wiring from the fuse to the jack with a meter. I'd expect you to find an open wire or a bad connection somewhere.
