When I have my lights on (actually just the parking lights are needed) my third brake light (the top middle one) turns on. It is pretty dim and gets brighter when I press the brake but I still got pulled over once for it. Obviously i have a short somewhere but I don't know much about finding it. Is...

my 97 SL1 saturn recently had a service. oil, filters (including fuel filter), spark plugs changed. 2 days layer my service engine light came back on. 2 months later my car is now sluggish, mainly when i shift to 1st, then 1st to 2nd. also, the service engine light goes on and off. when it's off,...

very odd thing here.......Starts right up from a COLd start....but if I drive down the road and stop (don't even have to turn off engine...the idle drops and most of the time dies. 4 hours later I can get into the car and it starts but immediately dies. smells like it has flooded out. I...

Ok my wife's 93 Saturn was running relatively good, she complained that it would stall out occassionally. She had the car parked all day...came out of work and the engine would crank but not fire. Had the car towed to a Saturn Dealership...... Their vedict the fuse box had shorted and it cost...

Was the proposed sale to Penske just a charade to boost sales of Saturns during the clunker program ?? Sure seemed like a Costanza operation to me.

To All, This morning I started the car to go to work after letting it sit for a little over a week. The car started fine and all of the engine warning lights, the fuel light, the battery light, security light came on, the spedometer didn't work, gas showed emplty even though it is full, the...

I have a 97 SC2 that has a problem with the rear defogger. When I first start the car, the defogger will come on. For some reason, if I step on the break it will turn off. If I put it back on, light over the button will flicker and sometimes come back on until I hit the break again. I know that...

What's it made of? Are there any other solvents that would work as well? Thanks

Is there a common problem with these? Our 98 SL-2 had the second horn die. I will get a replacement tomorrow. On the first the electronic relay failed. Will find out what happened to the replacment when it comes out of the car.

Hi, I filled up my Vue a few days ago. Guage went to full. As I drove for the next 1/2 hr it plummeted to a 1/4 tank like I was leaking fuel. ( i wasn't). Now it just hangs around empty, if I fill up it might go to almost 1/2 tank reading. The car runs fine so it knows it has fuel. Any ideas on...

Hi, new to this group... A few months ago I received a letter from a competing GM dealer that my long-time source for maintenance (for better or worse) on my 1998 SW1 -- Saturn of Colma -- had closed their doors. This neighboring GM dealer was inviting me to utilize their service department now...

Hi- This is a 2001 Saturn wagon. One of the low beams seems half as bright as it should be (right side). Replaced the bulb but that did not help. The high beam on that side don't work but not worried about that. Any ideas on this? Thanks a lot for any ideas!

Howdy Folks Quick search didn't come up with anything on this, so figured I'd post My wife was warming up our 2004 Vue (FWD 4-cyl), got in, started the heater going, and when she closed the door, just a few seconds later, she heard a pop - the rear window had shattered out (from the...

Hi...I'm looking at an SL1 for my college age daughter and wondering at what folks think about this model. This one has 55K miles on it and seems to be in pretty good shape. What should I ask about it? How often should the timing belt be changed? Jim

I'm looking at an '01 SL1 and wondering what folks think about them. This one has 55K miles on it. Do they hold up? What is the down side? This is a car for our college student daughter.. Thanks! Jim

My SES light has been on for a few weeks. I borrowed a OBD/II reader from AutoZone, and read the following codes: P0133 - 02 Sensor CKT flow response (Bank 1 Sensor 1) P0341 - Camshaft position sensor A Bank 1 CKT Range/Perf P0133 - pd - same text as first, but with pending. This is a 97 SL2...

Ok...stupid question.. but.... do tire distributors (not retail) sell complete valve stems with valves, or do I usually need to buy both the stem and valve seperately.... Id rather sound stupid here than appear stupid to a distributor..lol Thanks..

I just bought a 1996 SC1 with a am\fm cassette and equilizer. I just got the car out of the garage and the radio was showing "LOC" in the lcd display. I have no idea how to unlock it. The dealer tells me that for $50 they would do it. Hope someone can tell me what the default codes are and what...

My transmission exhibits no other noises except that tapping sound. My car currently has about 50k miles on it. I drive this car to work with round trip about 15 miles. But we do have long distance travels in the summer. We live in Illinoise where the temperature can go very low in the winter which...

I have a 2005 Ion and the gas gauge read completely empty 1 day after a fillup. Checked later and it read full. Have any of you seen this intermittent problem before? What caused it? Thanks, Jim
