1992 Geo Metro headlights will not come on when switch on lever is rotated. Passing lights (high beams) turn on when lever is pulled back and held. Headlights ohmed out good between all contacts on both lights. Electrical connector on headlight has 12 volts present on all three contacts with reference to battery regardless of switch position. When passing light is engaged, 2 electrical contacts go dead and the remaining contact measures 11.5 volts. Help!

96 geo metro lsi -Daytime headlights & runnings lights works when switch lever is off (as normal for 96's). Instrument panel lights & running lights work "ocassionally" when lever is rotated to first position (runners), but not the daytime headlights? When switch lever is rotated to "headlamps on" the intrument panel, daytime headlights and night headlights go out? When lever is pulled back for passing the high & low beams work in any rotated position, but not the panels? Please help!!!!

I need to replace the turn signal flasher in my 1996 Geo Metro, I think. The left blinker flashes fast, the left front turn signal flashes normally with the blinking sound. I have replaced the flasher bulb, but still no light. I have looked up under the dash and located the fuse panel but I can't identify the flasher. What does it look like? Terry

I just bought a used 95 geo metro 5speed 1.0. THe heat guage and "heat" come and go but usually go. Suspect the thermostat but the radiator cap is hot but not too hot.

2nd problem is lights. With switch off the lights are on but not the dash lights. With switch in parking light position all lights work normal but cannot get brights on unless I pull and hold. When switch is on all lights are off. There is a wire across the front from the white lead of one headlight to the white of the other. If I disconnect the right headlight does not work.

Thanks for any help you can give.

John

To all of you that have experienced head light (night time light) problems with a Geo Metro 95, here's my finding: The number one known problem with that car is that the light switch arm has a week component. It have a tendency to blow out easily and independently if the fuse is good or not. Don't need to replace light bulbs unless they are burned out of course. All you have to do is to go to your local Junk Yard, find another car of the same year likewise to be geo metro or I believe firefly are of the same design and remove only the control harm. They will tell you that you need the whole steering module but it is not necessary, plus in a lot of cases the connectors might not be the same...that's why I say get only the Harm. Replace your old Harm with the new one and test it out...it should work...well It did for me anyway...

But if it blow after a few months again...it could be asymptomatic of another problem (either the same control harm blown up again) or a bad connector in the fuse box or a bad wiring elsewhere. Which mean more investigation. Refer to your owner's manual to see what should be the best wiring for your car.

Some people add up remote starter and anti-theft devices (rather useless) and when they do their wiring they don't buy those snap on connectors and start splicing the cables and using electrical tape, start creating all kind of potential short circuit causing future damage to the electrical system. If it's the case, get it install or check by a professional (unless you can easily do it yourself) and bring the car back to it's original state. Then check every connectors for signs of burning and you'll know which circuit is drawing too much "juice". Sometime it's also caused by corrosion so all you have to do is to cut the corrosion on the cable and using a the clean part of the cable, remake that connection (suggest welding ...but remember to isolate that circuit from the battery before you do so or else "OUCH")

Hope that will help you all!!!

Correction to my last message... compatible car parts for Geo metro should be the same in the Sprint or Suzuki swift but the car should be of the same year range and have the same number of doors...but if you don't know for sure, ask the guys at the junk yard, they know which car is compatible to the Geo Metro and they will gladly help you out in your search.

Remember that a new part may cost a lot of money and wont necessarily give you a better result...the same part at a junk yard will only cost you a few box and will do the same job...but you got to do it yourself...

I have a 99 geo 4 cylinder and had a simular headlight problem. In my case it was a diode that was giving me problems that is located with the fuses under the hood.

I have a 94 geo metro. all lights work properly exept head lights. they do not work at all with the switch in any position. However the high beams will come on if you pull back and hold the lever. have been trying to fix this problem for some time and have replaced the light switch arm.

my headlight problems were being caused by corrosion in the fusebox itself, , the one under the dash not the hood, , , got one from the junkyard and everything is well now

1995 Suzuki Swift, (Simular car to Geo Metro) Where is the location of the daytme running lights control module. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Reply #15 Walt (74.60.54.182) - Fri Jul 25 00:31:33 2008

The headlight problem in the 94-96 or so Metros is in the fuse block. As you look at it, it is the 6 wire connector in the lower right corner usually burns the lower right wire. Unplug it and you can see it burnt. Sometimes you can wiggle the connector and it will work again, but cleaning the contacts and then reconnecting works. If it burns real badly, you have to buy a fuse panel and put a new end on the offending wire.

The component locator says the Daytime Running Light (DRL) module is above the fuse panel but I have never found it. If you want to disable the DRL just ground the E-brake wire. The DRL are not on while the E-brake is on. You could just make the E-brake switch out of adjustment enough to disable the DRL.

Happy Motoring.

I am having a problem with my 90 Geo Metro. The Indicator lights don't turn on when I turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON. When I turn the Ignition switch to start, the engine turns over, but it won't start because the fuel pump isn't on. When I turn the Key to ACC, all the indicator lights on the instrument cluster are supposed to light up, in addition the fuel pump should humm. I can still turn on the headlights and if I turn the Ig Switch to ACC, the wipers work too. What would cause the indicator lights, turn signal, & fuel pump not to work, and still allow the head lights and wipers & radio to work.

Parts replaced- fuse panel under dash, ignition switch, instrument panel where Speedometer & odometer are at; no fuses are blown, on the panels in the hood and cab.

I need some help!

Albert

well i have a 92 Geo Prism. First my highbeams went out, but driving lights continued to work.Then a few days ago right brake light would go bright and left side would go dim as when brake was applied with headlights on.So i changed brake light bulbs now I have no head lights but all other lights work fine. need help as most of my driving is when its dark out.

On my '95 Geo Metro I have a problem similar to Reply #12. I have no head lights except when I pull back the lever. At times the head lights will work momentarily and then go off again. DRL is OK.

Is it satisfactory to replace only the control arm and not the complete head lamp switch?

In order to replace the control arm as mentioned by #7 and attempted by #12 I assume I'll need to remove the steering wheel and the air bag? What precautions do I take with removal of the air bag?

Thank you.

I have a second question concerning my 1995 Geo Metro. The person I bought the car from almost a year ago did not know whether or not the timing belt had been replaced. The car has 170, 000 kilometres (kms)on it. I understand that the belt should normally be replaced every 100, 000 kms.

Do the valves and pistons on this car interfere with each other?

Thank you.

instead of replacing the whole fuse box if found it really cheap to take a regular piece of wire not speaker wire about 1ft. in length. remove the four pin unit located above the fuse box and you will see the burnt pin. Remove the actual fuse from the fuse box, next take off about 1 inch of the protective shielding on the wire. Put one end of the wire on the actual fuse and put it back in the fuse box with the wire attached. next place the other end length wise so your covering the burnt pin and plug in. there you have it 2 mins. and a piece of wire will have your headlights working with no problem 3yrs. and still working for me.

I have a 95 Geo Prizm my turn signals will not work. I replaced the bulbs the fuse and the relay and still nothing. They worked when I first bought the car and then they just stopped working one day. The light switch on the arm works fine turning the lights on and off and turning high beams on. Any solutions PLEASE let me know.

I just bought a 1997 Geo Metro LSI and I like everyone else on here also am having a headlight problem, but not a major one. My DRL are working fine, when I turn the headlights to the first position for the marker lights the DRL stay on just like it was when I had the lights turned off. When I turn it to the second position and the lever is pulled back for low beams all I have is the side marker lights, but if I push it forward for high beams they come on. I checked the wiring harness that was spoken about with the burnt wire and it seems perfectly fine.

I have a 97 Metro with the same head light problem with the low beams do not work and the high beams do. If you go under the dash where the steering collumn is you find a white connector with about 9 wires in it. This controls all the lights if you see any burnt or discolored areas it will need to be replaced. Once replaced the lights should work. Try to find a headlight bulb that does not produce as much heat. This seems to be a common problem in the metros.
