My first guess would be a fuse. Check those first.

gotta be a fuse... no other reason for both to go out together. A fuse is the only common bond.

The fuse that is labeled "radio" is also the same fuse that controls the cigarette lighter... If the insulator ring in the cigarette lighter is gone (this should be green...) it will cause the fuse to blow. The insulator ring is there to keep the positive and negative part from touching.
