Cigar lighter in My 1996 toyota avalon cannot work well because my navigator cannot charge when pull inside the plug. my radio is ok and I check the fuse it is in good condition. So I think the problem is the cigar lighter and maybe the connection is not good. I am try the lighter but it is still cold after plug in for a while. I dont know how to open the cigar lighter and I cannot find the screw.

There could be no screw, maybe clippers holds that. try pull the frame with hand to unclip, could be bad connection in back of cigar lighter or bad wiring

Fuse ok for the lighter what else to check lighter dosen't work

Cigar lighter tends to become corroded and dirty inside so eventually no connection to the heater or power plugs is possible. Check supply and ground from inside the socket with a large wattage test lamp.

If the ground and supply is good and the internal contacts clean it should work as a power socket if not a lighter. Maybe the heating element is u/s.

The cigarette lighter on my 1995 Toyota Corolla does not work. The radio works fine. The problem started after I used an air compressor to inflate my tires. The air compressor attaches to the cigar

On the back side of the lighter there is a fusable link between the incoming power wire and the metal tab that connects power to the lighter. This is a very small wire, bent 90 degrees, between two tabs that are mounted on the same small screw. It looks like the incoming power tab and the power to the lighter would be connected, but they are insulated from each other on the screw. If the fusable link is blown, you will have power at the power connector on the back of the lighter, but no power to the center terminal inside the lighter.

My 1996 avalon won't start. The lights, horn, and radio work fine. Is it possible that the starter relay fuse is blown?

Battery could be old/weak/defective. Check relay/fuse box around the drivers side under the hood. Look for blown fuse (you can see easily).
Think about corroded battery terminals and especially cables. Very common. Cables may look ok, but may be oxidized and corroded on inside. They let enough current pass for radio, etc, but can't pass all the current the starter requires

A penny got caught in my cigarette lighter and now my My cigarette Lighter is not working and now my A/C switch is not working I changed the fuse

chances are the heat from the cigar lighter melted and the a/c switch/wiring,replacement time.......(if you can get a small mirror behind dash to see if its melted you could save yourself a lot of hassle taking all apart).
