Thanks for the help guys, but I still haven't been able to figure this out.
First I checked all the fuses in the box under the hood... Everything seems OK.
I then removed the radio (for the first time), and in doing so I actually found that the connector into the chrome ashtray-mount was disconnected. This seemed a little odd, especially since the cigarette lighter has never worked for as long as I have owned the car. I basically pulled out the radio and removed/reconnected all of the wires, just to make sure everything was good and tight. I reinstalled the radio, and reconnected the connector to the lighter.
Still nothing works, neither the radio nor the lighter.
One other thing: throughout this problem, the radio does in fact light up (when I turn the headlights on). On the otherhand, the antenna no longer rises. Both of these have been the case since the radio died.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
