1990 Geo Metro Two Wheel Drive Manual

I would turn the key to start the car and sometimes it would start and sometimes it would do nothing not even a clicking noise; now it drains the battery and will not try to start at all;no headlights or flashers;heater fan nothing. battery has been on charger.

sounds like may have some bad wiring to the battery. check the battery cables and ensure they are clean and tightened properly not only at the battery but also at the alternator.
