cigarette lighter issue

I am wondering if the 1997 Lincoln Continental has a special cigarette lighter? My lighter gets hot but I am unable to use my GPS or IPOD because I am not getting power from the outlet. Can anyone shed some light on this? I thought all lighters were the same but now I am beginning to wonder if my Lincoln Conti needs an adapter to be able to power up my accessories.:confused: And if I do need an adapter, where do I find one. No one seems to know what I need to make it go.

The newer accessories don't like the old cigar lighter plug-ins. I have made them work by pushing then into the receptacle a little harder. The new "POWER POINT' plugs work a lot better.....time to trade up! LOL
