Make sure the battery is fully charged at 12.6 volts, also that coin in the cigarette lighter will cause a short to drain the battery and also can blow fuses. Check all of the fuses as well.

Yes definitely remove the coin, yes recharge battery if needed after it starts double check the charging system it should be between 13.5 to 14.5 volts. Usually the main fuse and ecu fuse i would check, but if you have a test light I would check all just in case other fuses have been blown.

could I take out the cigarette lighter fuse now since it's more then likely shorted and messed up after I get the car to work

Yes that is fine.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
