#985 of 1322 Re: 1999 Chevrolet Prism Cigarette Lighter issues [oolieiv] by mt700a1 Jan 17, 2006 (10:34 pm)
Replying to: oolieiv (Jan 15, 2006 10:02 pm) If you are sure that the fuse is ok, the problem is probably the ligher socket itself. Remove the plastic panel around it (it might just pop out or you may need a screw driver) and it should be easy to remove the socket. It is simple enough so you can either try to fix it or buy a new one.   Make sure you disconnect the battery's negative (-) terminal before attempting to remove the part, unless you want to see some sparks!   If you see burnt wires or connections it means you were drawing too much power from the lighter. It will happen again if you plug in a high wattage appliance into the inverter. Remember never to substitute a larger fuse to prevent a blown fuse. Always use the correct amp fuse designed for the part. You would rather have blown fuses than burnt wire somewhere in the circuit, or worse yet the car catching on fire!!! Good luck. M
#988 of 1322 Recommendations for a roof rack for a 96 Prizm by asafonov Jan 31, 2006 (12:02 pm)
I would like to equip my "spare" 96 Geo Prizm with a roof rack to turn it into an extra-light-duty "truck" capable of, say, carrying a door or two from a hardware store. Would appreciate answers to the questions:   1. Is it even reasonable to use a roof rack to transport 100 lb or so on such a small car?   2. If it is ok: what brand/model of racks is recommended?   3. How to find what is compatible with my vehicle? I did some googling for fit lists but the results are unconclusive.   TIA, Replies to this message: jchallenger (Feb 01, 2006 8:13 am)

i came home with the car running perfectly.i tried to get back out ten minutes later and the car would not start.the mechanic told me everything was fine and that a factory anti theft device might have been activated.the hazard lights begin to flash anytime i try to start.

Replying to: catfish172 (Dec 11, 2005 12:42 pm) I did not see where the ignition parts were changed, plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor? I had a rough running 94 prism with 154,000 miles and it turned out that a spark plug had come loose.
#992 of 1322 92 geo prizm brake & batt light flash by 92prizmchik Feb 25, 2006 (8:24 am)
My 92 geo prizm flashes the battery & brake light esp. when I accellerate. I have noticed it also does it if the car is idling high, like in the morning on startup before it gets warm. it doesn't do it everytime, but mostly when I accellerate it goes on & off, almost like a short. what should I be concerned about with this?

Replying to: louji (Jan 12, 2006 12:29 pm) i have a weird coolant leak ....it looks like its coming from the back of the engine....its running pretty quick .....i cant seem to see where it is coming from...all i know its dripping off where the oil dipstick goes into, and it feels like it is running from behind the bottom pulley on the left side of the engine....which leads to my other question...when i take the radiator cap off..since its been running hot...there is a light brown foam on the cap and in the radiator...and i read that it could mean the head gasket is blown. Is that a possibility? as far as i can see...there is no water/coolant in the oil. and i dont have black smoke coming out of the tailpipe. ....anyways...if someone could tell me where the coolant could be coming from on the side of my engine...i would appreciate it...its driving me nuts and im not too mechanically inclined so any advice would help..thanks Replies to this message: mpkonig (Mar 04, 2006 9:16 am) rene01 (Jun 21, 2006 10:10 am)
