my cig. lighter doesn't work for my 97 honda civic?
 

i don't have the owner manual so i don't know what fuse it is... i was thinking it could be the actual piece that the lighter goes into

Its a fuse. Your computer port wont work either, they are on the same circut. Make sure you replace it with the correct amp fuse (10 or 15 if I remember corectly). Just look at the cover of the fuse panel and check the fuse labled for the cig lighter. I bet its burned out.
