A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch (automatic) and the key switch.

SOURCE: 1991 geo prizm, battery light

Yes, it could be. Or you can check your battery. And try adding brake fluid to your master cylinder. That sometimes will cause the brake light to come on. Or check your emergency brake. Hope this helps, James Booth.

SOURCE: dash lights, dome lights and stereo quit workign when installing

YOU HOOKED THE GROUND FOR THE RADIO TO THE WIRE FOR RADIO LIGHT FROM THE FACTORY UNIT. THAT WIRE IS DRAK BROWN AND WILL SHOW AS A GROUND UNTIL YOU TURN ON THE LIGHTS. YOUR FUSE FOR PARKING LIGHTS WILL ALSO BE BLOWN. I DID THIS AND FIXED IT ALSO.

SOURCE: 1993 Geo Prizm turn signals

You have a bad turn signal switch if the hazards work and the turn signals do not. It has nothing to do with the fuse or the flasher unit. Your switch is bad or you have a bad connection some where.

SOURCE: My '97 Geo Metro LSi will not start. When I turn

It could be the starter, test the small wire going to the starter, it should have power when turning the key to start/crank. If it does, and the starter will not crank the engine, whack it with a hammer, if it then starts, replace the starter. If there is no power to the starter, then it could be the ignition switch, or the neutral switch, or a fuse/link blown.

My 1990 geo prizm won't start and there's no interior lights what can be the problem

hello ,
wont crank or cranks fast but wont start.? (2 different answers)
you must tell the helper all things that work or dont work
that is how electrics function, by branches .
1: head lights work high and low beams. ( dim or dead?)
2; heater fan work on high?
3: radio.
4: cluster glows those warning lamps as all do key on (y/n)
5;cranks
6: interior lamps dead, my guess you mean the dome lamps.?
try to be more clear as to which of the many lamps inside are dead.
7: if its a no crank, car, say so, and check for green battery lugs
we clean them , if not corroded ,then we next jump start the car
using jumper cables, per instructions on the box.

is car automatic trans?
if yes and wont crank try cranking in Neutral not park.
step on brake /and key on, and shift to N.
then crank.

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.

I have a 97 geo prizm...when i turn the key it majes a clicking sound from underneath the hood and it only starts after i turn the key a few times.............HELP

Sounds like you need an ignition. Turn your key to the on position and cross the terminals on your starter with a screwdriver. Do this several times (Have somebody turn the key off and back to the n position). If it starts like this every time You need to replace the ignition. Or you can replace the whole column, sometimes this is easier then replacing just the ignition.

1995 Geo Prizm starts, but stalls when put into drive.

We finally took it to a mechanic and it turned out the ignition coil was bad. Replaced it and the spark plugs and all is well now.
