Default Data plug & cigarette lighter won't work

I have a 2003 F-150 , both data & cigar outlets quit working . I checked the fuse with a ice pick type tester it tested good I changed it any no luck. Took the ash tray out so I check the connectors both are plugged in .What do I do next? Thanks

One of the guys I work with offshore , suggested to ohm it from the fuse to the data plug. To make sure theirs not a break in the wire
