Either its not compatable or your phone charger doesn't work right.

There may be a fuse in the tip of your phone charger that is blown.

What year is your Jeep?

I'm guessing old enough to not be compatable with your charger.

Or it could be that your just not getting a good connection in the Jeep.

Try twisting the male end inside the cigarette lighter a few times.
