Cigarette

I have a 93 toyota paseo, and it didn’t come with a cigarette lighter at all, like there is no hole or socket or nothing. Im wondering how much would it cost to have one put in? And would it take a lot of time?
This is for curiosity’s sake, and no its not for smoking but for my gps and other stuff.

it will cost $14,000 …… trust me i know

For example, if I connect my GPS or an FM transmitter to the cigarette lighter to power it, would my car battery drain of power or does it barely make a difference??
PS: I mean, if I use these gadgets while driving and unplug them when I turn my car off.
(I am driving about 1.5 hours per day.)

Also, I never leave anything plugged into the cigarette lighter when I’m not in the car, in fear that my car will get broken into.

If you turn whatever you have plugged in off, it shouldn’t cause a drain. It will if it is left on. How long the battery will last with something draining it depends on what is using the battery power. A GPS doesn’t take a lot of power to run. If you have a good battery in your car, it should last several hours before it pulls it down.

I plug my radar detector and GPS into my cigarette lighter socket in my 98 Toyota Avalon, but they occasionally don’t get a steady power connection, so I am guessing the socket is loose. How do I tighten up the socket so it’ll feed a steady power supply?

On some cars, the male retainer behind the dash or console has to be held while the outside female receptacle socket is turned clockwise to tighten.

The cigarette lighter in the 2006 Ford Focus I just bought doesn’t work. It doesn’t work as a lighter (the knob won’t stay pushed in) and nothing that I plug into it (my GPS and tunecast) will work. I need to go out of town unexpectedly, and the limited warranty from buying the car is only good in my town, but because it’s the 4th of July, they are closed today. I’m wondering how much it will cost to fix it if I just get it done somewhere else and pay for it.

Your fuse is blown….go to Auto Zone or a full service gas station and they should replace it for free…Drive safe
