I accidentally touched a wire going into the cigarette lighter wiring with another 12v wire and i blew something, fuses were fine and im not sure about the relays but they looked ok. So i'm thinking its gotto be in the wiring, anyone have ideas?
Did i fry the wiring in my Cigarette Lighter wiring?

Does the everything still work?
If the fuses are fine and everything works, nothing happened. The fuses are supposed to blow when you do something like that. Thats why Toyota put them there in the first place so you don't do any major damage.

i doubt that you burnt something. are you sure you checked the right fuses in the kick panel. if i remember correctly, its supposed to be a 15. the only way you could have done something like that is if you have the wrong fuse in there. aka, can handle too much power.
Push the lighter in and see if turns red and hot. I'm assuming you did that already, but you didn't mention if it worked or not. I'm assuming not, therefore we have this thread.
If you got sparks from a 12V line, then whatever that 12V line was attached or fused to is where the problem is likely to happen. It's unlikely that the positive for the cigarette lighter is going to be an issue, unless you grounded that.
The other 12V line, is that something that you added yourself? If it's a factory +12V line, then you need to check the fuse for that.
If it's from the radio, many times, an aftermarket radio will have its own in-line fuse on the constant and switched power. Check those, as they're often smaller than the factory radio fuse (Though not always.)
