.The car has over 400,000 km on it,could it be the alternater all these problems,or maybe the battery shorting out(it is original)

The sqealing noise is most likely the a/c heater blower motor. about your battery light have the battery and alternator checked it is amazing the original battery lasted this long!!!

Intermitente starting problems & transmission seemed to go out the other day while driving it

sounds more like an engine issue off the top of my head. The transmission runs off the vacuum from the engine. If the engine timing chain is stretched it will run then not run, have problems idling and shifting and won't charge the battery properly. anyone who has done one before could probably tell you just by the sound of the engine running.

Battery wont charge, battery/ABS/SRS/BRAKE lights come on while driving and flicker. voltage increases to dash lights/fan speed/headlights periodically.

Get a volt meter, start your car and see how many volts your car is producing while running. Should be around 14 volts. May want to watch the meter for a while since your electric seems to fluctuate. Most voltage regulators are internal of your alternator. If you are getting a lot more or less than 14 volts while running, replace the alternator. If it is not charging, voltage will drop as vehicle runs, until battery is dead.

Car will not start. Inside lights are bright one time then they flicker the next when trying to start. Usually all the maintenace lights come on as you are starting. Sometimes only the check engine light...

It sounds as a weak battery. Try to horn with the head light on to see if it can sound.
1- Have the battery recharged.
2- Clean off the cable terminal really well to prevent corrosion built up causing high resistance. If there is high resistance at terminals, there is not enough current flowing through the starter hence there is no starting.
3- If battery is good after recharged as well as horn could sound, but still not started, then the starter solenoid needs to be checked out. Good luck.

The Prizm starts sometimes and at other times doesn't. The battery will crank but it seems like it isn't getting gas...

sounds to possibly be a intermitant fuel pump or a bad fuel pump relay. Check those areas. Hope this helps.

05 G Caravan Dash Lights, gages & headlights intermitantly flicke

Try your headlight switch. If it is going bad it should affect all of these since they all work of the same switch.
