Re: The air blows but hot. also my cigarette lighter went...
Well your ac system has a leak in it and there may be a vacuum leak around the seals and the cigarette lighter works off a fuse or relay that may need to be replaced.

They shouldn't be. If the alarm went off it wouldnt have a "blown fuse". That would cut the power to the alarm. You may have low refrigerant keeping the AC from running and a blown fuse for the cigarette lighter.
Are you asking about air con or about a compressor to supply air for blowing things up like tyres? It is possible that a short circuit is still happening in the lighter / power socket. Make sure that all fuses and relays are working.
investigate or get it investigated, because this could quite easily set fire to your car. i would seriously consider disconnecting it until problem sorted. unplug the whole unit and make sure no live wire/s are bare. hope this helps
Not really but i would check the bulb holders first ,rear light make sure its the right bulb ,look inside the bulb holder at the contacts ,one or two ?? check it out you would be surprised how many people fit the wrong bulb ,then if ok check the front light its a c?pless bulb and again the tiny contacts get bent and short it out .
there are two prongs inside the lighter socket that you can bend in a little bit, these usually stay out if you've left a phone charger in. use something non metalic to bend the tabs in or you will blow the fuse for the lighter socket, hope this helps
Well as long as he did not unplug any fuse or repace the blown fuse in the a/c fuses spot then it just maybe just bad luck.Anyway check to make sure the belt is on the compressor,and if thats ok make sure the compressor is coming on.If it is then get it recharged and put some dye in it to help find the leak.
They probably share the same fuse. Sounds like cig lighter coil is shorted and "fiddling around" blew the fuse. Replace the fuse and try a different lighter coil.
You probably have a bad thermostat - the one that controls water flow to the radiator. It's supposed to stay closed until the engine reaches proper operating temperature. But when they fail, it's usually in the open position so the water circulate to the radiator all the time. The engine takes longer to warm up, and you shiver in the meantime. It does eventually get hot - it just takes a lot longer. I bet if you replace that thermostat you'll be toasty in no time. As for the cigarette lighter, your portable heater may have blown the fuse.
