Happened to me. Pos side terminal cracked at teh housing on my 2002 leaked battery acid on my AC lines and Wiring harness. It was a mess. I fixed it no biggie nuetralized the acid and away we go. That being said you should sell your Saturn and find another car to buy. It looks like no matter what...

start car self diagnostics seem ok for traction control after a couple of seconds the the on/off switch light goes out -- traction control is off and cannot be turn on -- computer reset works only once and then an engine restart repeats the problem

My daughter's 93 SL1 with 166k miles overheated. There appears to be oil in the antifreeze and the engine oil level dropped about a quart. The engine still seems to run OK ( I ran it a couple of minutes to reposition in the driveway). What would this repair cost and is it worth it? There are...

Recently my 94 SL2 automatic with ABS has been unable to start. The problem appeared once, went away, and then reappeared for good a few days later. The problem is that the car will turn over and immediately die. The engine appears to fire for a few revs, and the tach deflects, but will not...

I took my 2001 SL2 for a 90K service at Saturn. They changed the transmission fluid and said everything was fine with the transmission. Next day while backing out I noticed that it slips when I put it in reverse. Basically, whenever I start the engine and put the car in reverse it slips. It did...

A Usenet troll has been spoofing my e-mail address in posts on rec.autos.makers.saturn. This began on 12 May 2008. In order to distinguish between forged posts, and genuine posts, I've set up a web page with the dates and times of the forged posts and the genuine posts. See...

Hello, I'm having a problem with the driver's power window in my 95SL2. When out yesterday, and went to close the window, and it did not move. Shut the engine off, and switched to accessory, and it still did not move, but the other windows still worked. Looked for a fuse, but did not find any....

1997 SC2 the power locks keep locking and unlocking all the time. What's up? Chris 99BBB

I don't have power locks in my SL but want to add them. I seems like it would be really easy to install if I had the stock ones. Just attach the motors and replace the plastic panel with the switches. The wiring should be there already right? The problem is where can I find them? Will the...

Hi, I own a 96 SL1, and recently my power locks don't work anymore. When I first bought the car (about a year and a half ago), they did not work. Mysteriously when I was working under the hood one time, they decided to work. When I hit the unlock, the drivers side door unlocks, and thats all. ...

I drive an '04 Ion, and latley the power steering light comes on, and the steering wheel gets really tight. I called the guy at the dealership, and he said it's probably fuse. Anyone else had this problem?

Greetings Saturn Heads. My 98 SW2 makes a strange noise when turning the steering wheel. The ps resovoir is full.The steering feels a little sluggish as well. My last trip to my mechanics (plural-as in multiple different boneheads) resulted in frustration due to incomplete or erroneous...

Greetings, Looking for advice as to how to best remove the reservior from the power steering pump on a 93 SL2. It has two metal clips with a tab on each that are tensioned down against the body of the pump. I can pop these up with a screw driver, but looking for a way to slide the clip off...

Oh how I hate GM ! Anyone have instructions on how to remove the inner door pannel (front passenger side)on a 2000 sw2 (I think) station wagon so I can unbind the motor and window drive mechanism? It's getting juice - I can hear it clicking when I hit the power switch)- so it's obviously bound up....

I have 99 SL2. Driver's side back window is not working. I took the panel out and noticed that a small plastic part that holds the arm inside the window track is broken into two pieces. Simply would need to replace that part and get in back on the track and around the arm to get the window working...

I have a 94 SL with power windows. The front windows go 1/2 way down and then stop. They won't raise or lower. Any suggestions other that relacing the motor and/or regulators? Just hoping its something I'm overlooking Thanks

I have a 93 SC-2. My passenger's side power window will open smoothly with no problems. However, when I try to close it by holding the switch in the up position, nothing happens. I can reliably close it by clicking the switch up, releasing it, and repeating, perhaps a dozen times. Each time,...

The driver & pass. front windows are sticking sometimes as they go down. Tips? Suggestions?

Hi, I've got a '92 four door Saturn SL1 w/ power windows. Only the left front will go up and down using the power window switch in the console between seats. All four windows will go down using the console switches . Right now the right front window is hallway down and it will not go up but...

Power window units in the door work great. Unfortunately the electrical contacts in the console switches wear out or burn out in 2-3 years. Of course-taking the console cover off and cleaning or replacing the contacts requires the help of your friendly, high overhead ($$$$$), Saturn dealer. I...
