Is it possible to install a cigar lighter in a 1995 SEAT Ibiza which currently does not have one?
Yes! 1st. You can find an after market lighter almost anyplace. I have even seen them at Walmart! You can find 6 volt, or 12 volt. find the place you want the lighter, drill a starter hole, then drill the exact size of the lighter socket ( you want this to fit a little snug)you will find one bold on the back of the lighter socket. Attach you hot wire to it and run it to you fuse box. The light will already be grounded through the body of the car! I should take you no more the 30 minutes!

What could be the problem if the lighter does not work in a 1995 jetta gls if the lighter is new and the fuse keeps poppen?
Sounds like a dead short. In my older car, I built a new circuit with an in line fuse for safety and solved my pesky problem. Put the same size fuse as the car called for from the factory. All is well. Just run a hot wire from a power source and ground the ground portion of the lighter to a chassis ground. If you put in a lighter and fuse in like stated, you can do this with a little patience.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in a Toyota 4Runner?
If the cigarette lighter is not working and the ACC fuse, inside the car, left of steering wheel, is still good (radio is working), the "fuse" on the back side of the cigarette lighter socket, a brown wire, has blown. Socket needs to be replaced or fixed with a soldering iron and a new wire.
Could a cigarette lighter which was torn from wiring make a short throughout the rest of vehicle?
Certainly could, especially if the bare wires that were connected to the lighter mechanism short out (touch) together. This will cause a dead short and render the car's entire electrical system inoperable.

if its not the alarm malfunctioning, there is a short circuit somewhere between the switch/battery/relay and the horn its self - youll have to find the short and insulate the wire or replace the switch.
