First turn of the key energize the car electrical circuits for some circuits radio ets. 2nd turn of the key energize the the starting cycle, when you turn the key to the third spring loaded start mode it completes the circuit to the starter solenoid which engages the starter and start the car, the spring in ignition return the key to ignition on.
Maybe you have a malfunction in the ignition on position. Dont have a large bunch of keys hanging in your ignition, it sings back and forth when the car is in the start mode and cause havoc to your ignition switch.

SOURCE: brake lights

The brake lite switch is most likely stuck on, it is on the arm that goes to the brake pedal, it will have at least 2 wires in the connector to the switch.

SOURCE: I have a 97 geo prism with a gas leak

Where is the gas leak? At the back of the car, under the hood, or???
It could be a rusted gas line, a rusted gas tank, etc. You need to do some detective work to determine where the leak is. Do not park the car inside a garage. Fumes can build up and explode when starting the car or just turning on a light in the garage. Be careful not to cause a spark, or allow anyone to smoke nearby until you fix it.

PRIZM.

did you try jump cables start? off a running donor car, AAA style>?

and had to disconn? what does that mean and what was results? if any.

ahhh, to fix the stuck on blinkers? i get it.

not to fix starting...



blinkers on , key off>?

that?

which engine?

http://www.fixkick.com/PRIZM.html



the engine type dictates what wiring car has. (partly)



fix the stuck blinkers first. this implies, either ignition switch failure

or gross wiring errors, hacks gone wrong.

the key swtich does turn off blinker power feed.

My ABS light is staying on - 1995 Geo Prism

Your abs light is permanent. Most people don't bother to fix this, it is expensive, and your car is getting old. It means that the anti lock brake system has failed and needs repair. But your brakes still work fine, just don't have anti lock. So I'm not saying tape over the light on the dash, but.
