Has anyone been able to find a center arm rest for a '97 SC2? I found one for 2000 at one parts house, but was not able to find one for my '97. Thanks for any assistance.

Hello, My son has a '94 SC-1 (2 door). Looks like the alternator is shot. Been reading a bit from previous posts about alternator replacement and I am a bit confused about how to get at it due to having the power steering. Can I get to that alternator from the wheel well or do I need to

I need to replace some lights in the dash on a 2001 SL1. I got everything off but the instrument cluster. The thing I can't get off is the wire plug on the back. They didn't give you any extra wire so you can not pull it out very far. Called the dealer and they want $120.00 plus $5.00 for each...

Ran diagnostics a couple times on it and I get a strange code. Reads "PCM system ram performance" this is followed by Idle speed too high or idle speed too low or both. Ideas? I will be looking at the connections to and from the control module but perhaps someone has seen this before on these...

I have a 97 SL1 and the alternator just died after 160k miles. Can't get anything that will last anymore.<g> I took a quick look and it looks like the power steering pump has to come off to get to the alternator or either you have to pull the engine. Just kidding. Also looks like the pulley has...

I need to hear this explained,on my Ion,the radio has pre-selected sound variations,rock,c&w,classic,custom,etc,are these types the electronics manufacturers just "put on?".There is some sound difference,but the only things you can adjust,yourself,are treble & bass.And why does my radio...

Yep, they discontinued the L series, your parents were lucky to find a remaining wagon, they were great wagons. Yep, there is that commercial "What's the catch" emphasizing the no hassle no haggle policy still in effect. We still are like that. The $299. standard dealers fee is standard nowadays at...

my 2003 L200 wipers do not park in the correct position. After the wipers are used they park in the vertical position - right in the drivers line of sight. You can push they down - but the next time they are used, they return to the wrong position. does anyone have experience with this problem?

My 93 SL1 with SOC engine began shifting hard recently. I've been told that it is probably the "valve body", which is exterior to the transmission. Has anyone out there had experience in changing one of these? Is it easy to get to and is it a hugh job? Its a $1200 job at local Lee Myles...

Vehicle runs fine. If i stop and kill the engine, when i try to start it, all power goes out. I wait a bit and the power will return, but when I try to start it, all power goes out. Nothing is on. Battery is 2 years old. I am thinking could be the battery or alternator. I'll have to push or pull to...

Last January I had the alternator in my 97 SC-2 changed. The reason for the change was that the ABS light kept coming on. I was advised from this group that the reason for this light coming on was that the alternator was going bad and not putting out enough power for the ABS system. So even though...

My 92 sl just died doing about 70 down the highway. Since then, the car will start up, drive about ten minutes, the oil gauge will shoot up to hot then the car dies. Sometimes it will start immediately, other times you have to let it set. Have taken it to 2 different mechanics. One said to replace...

I have a '97 Saturn SL1, that I have not had any major problems with since I purchased it. I have noticed, however, that if I do an oil change myself or take it to a shop to do it, there always appears to be a bit less than what I would normally expect to see. One tech said that Saturns are...

Can I install a vacuum gauge in my 1993 Saturn SL2? Which vacuum line can I plug into?

Hello Everyone -- Just thought I'd let you know that my SES light came on again just 152 miles after they fixed the problem according to Saturn Engineering instructions. They kept the car for three days to do it!!!!!! One thing is very clear to me: Saturn dealer doesn't know what to do and...

Having become the proud owner of a 2000-2001 L series shop manual (and because Engineers just like to find out how things work) I was looking for the source of some radio interference. I hit a low hanging tree branch a while back and the radio has gotten more susceptible to interference when the...

Did a Google search, but found no answer to my particular question. Somebody hit the left-side mirror of my 2000 SL1 while it was parked at work, shattering most of the plastic housing. The mirror itself survived and is currently duct-taped in place on the remaining plastic housing. I'm looking...

Can anyone help? The speedometer quit working two days ago. I figured it would be an easy fix with a new vehicle speed sensor (vss) but as luck would have it, that did not fix the problem, at the same time the (Service engine soon) light came on and I'm getting a code 26.... it is a 1995...

Hi all, I currently have a 95 sc2 with 242,000 miles on it. Still running great (started burning some oil at about 200k). Do any of you have any experience with a new ION. I am considering getting one. Any comments good or bad would be appreciated. HM
