What is the proper tire pressure for a Prizm?

Check your owners manual it will say, also the sidewall of the tires will say. I would say 35psi Paul from canada

NEVER look at a tire sidewall for pressure numbers! Different car models require different pressures. A tire can be placed on many different models, so how can a tire tell you what pressure YOUR car should have? CHECK THE OWNERS manual or inside the door sides or the glovebox for your car's pressure. THE ONLY TIRE PRESSURE LISTED ON A TIRE TELLS YOU THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE THAT THE TIRE CAN TAKE --IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOUR CAR REQUIRES.

I consulted the user manual for my '93 Geo Prizm, and it said "Geo does not make tires...check the information supplied by the TIRE MANUFACTURER!" I could not find any info on the door posts...HUH?

If the gas gauge reads a little over full when the tank is actually full on a 93 Geo Prizm, that is normal. Sometimes, when filling the tank, it will register over the full mark. The computer can be reset by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes if the tank is not actually full.

If you mean the door lock cylinder...remove the interior door panel. On the back of the door handle there are 2 10mm hex bolts. To the outer edge of the door there is an access hole. With an extension, remove the 10mm bolt that holds the lock cylinder and door handle together. Reach in and push the nylon retainer that holds the rod into the cylinder (yellow on driver side, white on passenger side) and remove it. A slight twist of the cylinder will remove it from the door handle. Replace in reverse order.

How can you tell when a wheel bearing on a Geo Prizm goes out?

Jack the car up so that wheel with the bearing in question is up off the ground. Grab the tire on the top and bottom and rock it back and forth. There should be little or no play back and forth with the tire. If there is then that bearing should be replaced. Usually a bad wheel bearing will make a noise while the car is in motion. The noise may get louder during turns. Also, withe the car jacked up spin the wheel. The beraing may cause clicking noise or rotate in a jerky way. I have seen situations where the symptoms of a bad wheel bearing were not pronounced but the bearing was in very bad shape (split rollers split race. Investigate any symptom promptly. The bearing may cause you to loose a wheel or cause the wheel to not turn! Bad wheel bearings usually make noise while driving, try to listen to your car closely.

How to change third brake light bulb in 1996 GEO?

I just did this to my sons car, very very easy. Tools required: One small Phillips screw driver. On the inside of the car on each side of the third brake light unit there is a small plug type tab. Press in on the center with the Phillips screw driver, a ball point pen will work as well. It will just pop in about a quarter inch. Next grab the outside lip of that same tab and pull the plug out. Repeat on the other side. This will allow you to lift and remove the plastic covering. Next you will see a small Phillips screw on the left of the bracket holding the actual light bulb. Remove with Phillips driver, this will allow the light assembly to come out. Unscrew the bulb replace and assemble. Took all of 5 minutes. Replacement bulb is a 921 or a 921LL Only difference in bulbs in the LL is suppose to last longer, more expensive too. Still only 3 bucks though. Good luck

Where can I find a replacement rearview mirror for my 96 Geo prism Which dealer should I go to?

I would suggest you either try a auto salvage yard or any auto parts store. The auto parts store may have a after market version that will fit. Otherwise you can go to a Chevy or a Toyota dealership and find one.

How do you take the plastic casing off the 3rd brake light on a 1996 Geo Prizm to change the bulb?

It should have a couple of little plastic plugs in it. You need to take a small screwdriver or pen or something stiff and push the center of these plugs inwards. Once you've done that, pull them out and put them aside. Then there's a couple of bolts ( I think 10 or 12mm) that will have to come out. This will allow you access to the assembly. You'll have to reuse the little plastic plugs. Push them out until they protrude from the outer ring and then stick them back in and push the centers back down to the flush position.
