Need help wiring cigarette lighter

I know it is not a truck but dont know where else to ask this. After my Super Duty got stolen I inherited this 98 Crown Victoria for free from my brother. The cigarette lighter does not work to charge my accessories. It is unplugged from the wire and I can not think of how to hook it up and I do not have my multimeter with me. Can anyone tell me where to hook these wire up on it? I cannot seem to attach a picture for some reason! It has a stud on the bottom and a strip of metal secured under it with a small nut. is it on one of the ends of this strip that I attach the spade terminal? The other terminal goes on the stud itself. Thanks!

hot goes to the stud to power the middle of the lighter. Ground goes to the spade terminal on the outside of the casing
