Yes just go to the fuse panel and find a 12 volt source that is turned on with the key and tie into that or check your fuses to the ciggarette lighter

Absolutely. They don't take the vehicle because it belongs to you; they take the vehicle because if you aren't licensed to operate a motor vehicle and you're pulled over, they now have a vehicle without a driver and they must take necessary action to ensure the vehicle is parked in a secure, legal location.
Can 1997 ford explorer cigarette lighter turn off when ignition turns off Otherwise accessories plugged in will drain the battery.?
Sorry, no - there is no shut off switch for the cigarette lighter. It is wired so a person can use the cigarette lighter without having to use the ignition key to switch to the accessory position or start the vehicle.
Why is my Cigarette lighter okay but no power coming to it and fuse is okay?
When your cigarette lighter fuse is good and there is voltage measured between the fuse's load side to ground (To check this, use a dc voltmeter or a 12v automotive lamp and an automotive lamp socket. Connect one wire to the fuse and the other wire to the chassis of the vehicle the lamp should glow if voltage is present on the fuse terminal.), check the wire between the fuse and cigarette lighter. This wire should be without cut and when the wire is good then check the connector on the cigarette lighter socket for loose connection or corrosion. One more thing is that, make sure that your cigarette lighter fits the cigarette lighter socket because not all cigarette lighters will work on some cigarette lighter sockets.

Cigarette lighter fitting 106?
Pull out old one, insert new one. You may wish to install roll bars incase it has hazardous side effects. For a 106 without a cigarette lighter, its reasonably easy to fit one. Local car parts supplier had a lighter for less than £3. All the wiring required to fit the new lighter is behind the centre panel of the dashboard unfortunatly this means you have to remove the radio first which is a pain and requires more brute force than technique. The spare wires is retained in a plastic clip to stop the wire moving and shorting any other connections out. (at least they were on my '94 XND model have read other people having found the wires easily also)
What would cause the cigarette lighter to stop working all of a sudden without the fuse being blown on a 1992 Lexus LS400?
This answer is "generic," in that it applies to ALMOST any problem in which an electrical device fails to operate while the the fuse, or other protective device, APPEARS functional. The fuse thought to be good ["without the fuse being blown"]could LOOK OK, while not being able to conduct electricity. For this reason, the fuse must be CONFIRMED as "good" by the use of a VOM [volt-ohm meter] or a self-powered test light, or replacement with a known good fuse. Once a fuse is confirmed functional, there is only one cause of operational failure, the electrical circuit is not "complete," allowing the electricity to flow through the entire circuit as designed. There could be two causes for this: 1)an "open" in the circuit, in which some part of the circuit [a wire, or the heating element in the lighter itself, a connector,etc.] is cut, broken, or seperated; or 2)a "short" circuit condition, in which some portion of the "hot" wire [the wire which carries electriciy TO the device] is in contact with a grounded object [like the vehicle frame, the frame of the device itself, or any bare uninsulated metal in contact with ground]. Either of these conditions prevent the electricity from passing through the device, thereby preventing its working. To determine the cause of the failure of your lighter to operate, you must find and remediate the fault. I suggest that you "borrow" another identical lighter, which you know is working, and try it in your vehicle's lighter socket. If that lighter works in your vehicle, that means your lighter is defective [an INTERNAL open or short] and must be replaced. Also, "try" your lighter in the vehicle from which you borrowed the known good lighter, and if it does work, then you have confirmed that the problem is in the lighter wiring circuit in your vehicle. If the known good lighter fails to operate in your vehicle, and your lighter operates in the other vehicle,you now know that there is either an open condition somewhere between your vehicle battery and its ground to the vehicle chassis, or there is a short somewhere between your battery and the lighter socket. Getting your lighter to work is a matter of seeking, identifying, and correcting the fault. Good hunting.
