I would check for a blown fuse. Wouldnt be all that hard to short out the lead for the cigarette lighter while working on it and popping the fuse.

Also might check that the Casing the bulb fits in to (dome light) is grounded to the metal wall of the inside of the cab..I spent a hour or so messing with bulbs fuses and wire then decided to bolt it back up and call it a day..And it worked.

But also check fuses good easy place to start
