Just replaced the starter because thats what we thought was wrong. We were wrong. Now when I turn the key nothing worked fine for a day after replaced the starter. Now nothing. checked all the connections and Alt. and battery all other eletrical stuff is workking fine. When I turn the key to start I hear a buzz from the engine cabin but the starter will not engage. Checked the moter fuse and it looks OK. Any ideas or help is greatly apperciated
95 prizms are known for starter problems if they last 2 years you are lucky..They just get way to hot where they are......And are a pain to replace....
Where is the starter located so can replace with a new one?

Sorry forgot to say that once the new starter was in place car started just fine. Was not till the next day and several starts later that it started to do the some thing as it was before the starter was replaced
It is located on the firewall side of the motor right under the fule injection. You have to work on it from both the top and bottom of the car. From the bottom you will need to remove the plastic sheild from the passenger side under the car. from there you can remove thr electrical connections and the 1st of the two restraining bolts. Then from the top you will need to reomve the air filter housing (three bolts on the inside of housing). then below that there is a wire harnse that you need to take off. Now you can't remove it because it is attached to a hard line for something but once you take its bolt out you can move it to the side to again access to the upper bolt for the starter. Hope this helps
