What is wrong with your 92 Geo Prizm Lsi if battery light is on but the car starts in the morning but as soon as you turn it off and try to restart it is dead for two days in a row?

Answer 1

Have someone check the charging system and the battery. You can usually get this done for free. We had continual problems with the lights (brake and battery) on my daughter's 1992 Geo Prism. My husband replaced the alternator but the lights kept coming on so we replaced the battery. The car died one day so we had someone check the charging system. It turned out to be a bad alternator to begin with. My husband put in a new alternator and now it is working fine. This happened to me once, as well. It turns out that I had a bad alternator. Probably a starter going bad. Mine went bad and if I let the engine cool down completely (poured cold water on it and then tapped on the starter with a wrench) it would start up again. As a starter goes bad it won't work when it is hot. Tapping on the starter with the angled crank from the jack in the trunck helped me to make it home until I could get the starter replaced. Similar thing happened to me. Turned out my starter was bad and I replaced it. No problems now in over a year.
