1997 Dodge Intrepid 166000 miles

I've had a problem with my car for the past 2 years. This may get confusing. In the summer, when I start my car, because of the heat, the windows don't work, the fan for the a/c (which blows out hot air anyways) doesn't work and my airbag light comes on. I am able to put my windows down however, when the key is turned to the accesory setting. In the winter, my car starts fine, everything runs, until the temperature guage reaches the second line on the display, then any heat I have going turns off, and my windows stay where they are. (I'm a smoker, so this is a little chilly!) This will also happen if I've just turned my car off and then start it again, no heat, windows and air bag light is on. That's problem 1. Problem 2, my cigarette lighter doesn't work, I can't charge my phone or anything, It seems loose, how much would a new one cost to get installed?

Sounds like your ignition switch is going bad. If the windows will work in acc position, the contact for the acc power when key is in run position is probably burnt and not making good connection. The lighter could be a fuse, as far as repalcing it, depends on how far the interior has to come apart to get to the back of it, the socket is just a few dollars
