I have a 2000 SL2 that I bought used. I recently had to do some work which required disconnecting the battery. Apparently, there is some sort of anti-theft stuff that requires entering a code to get the radio to work. All the radio says is LOCK. The manual says to go to the dealer. There has...

I have this problem for quite a while. Oil needed adding 1qt/300 mi. I replaced valve cover gasket (together with pistion gaskets). But the oil consumption is still the same as before. I saw puddles starting from intake. I know this sounds odd. But I did see Oil not fuel. I also feel some oil...

well this is a good bye and good luck to the rest of you. I just thought I'd post what happened to my 02 saturn in case the old boys at gm want to know why their saturn division (at least) has tanked. I put very little millage on my saturn this year, less than 9000 k. It's always been serviced at...

A couple of days ago the keyless entry stopped working on my key fob. My wife's worked so at least, it was not a problem with the BCM (that receives the signal). Battery in the fob was replaced only about 6 months back so that was not a likely cause. It measured 3V with a meter and 2.95V with a...

I find this assinine!It was around,or under $20.00 for a battery test,the 1st time as far as I know-you really wonder what REALLY goes on out there in the bays.-they checked the altenator too,well i guess that's better than having the 'ol car die on me in a blizzard.

Here is a message that I received from another agency that helped and I am passing it on to social workers,doctors,non profits,etc. Take advantage of a program offered by American Consultants Rx that my agency has been using for the past 3 years.ACRX is donating discount prescription cards to...

I own a 2001 SC2 and it's been the best car I've ever had. Presently there's about 86,500 miles on it and it has required nothing except regular maintenance and wear items (tires, battery, wiper blades, etc.) I live in Phoenix Arizona so the car has had plenty of opportunity to over heat in our...

So I have a 2001 sc2 3 dr i love it - well except for the minor problem im having with the radio....i just got my car back from the body shop now my radio does not work. The only thing that works on my radio is the volume nob. When the woman who hit me , head on may i add the orange drink i had in...

Hi, Wipers of my 99' SC2 sometimes forget that they need to stop and recently they even lost touch where they need to stop. It is my understanding that wipers switch is the same part with the motor. Is wipers motor located under the dashboard? What's the best way to access the motor? Thanks.

(We'd like to hear from someone who's done it.)We need to re-sew the seam of a leather seat -- the seat-seat, not the back. It appears the seat can be removed by removing 4 bolts and disconnecting an electrical connector. I don't immediately see how to remove the side trim or if that's really...

Hi, I posted a year ago, but anyway, here is a zipfile of Yogi Bearmusic. ONE of those..33 ZR-48 Fast Movement (Geordie Hormel) is the tune used in at least two of those old commercials (courtesy Capital records/Ole George) before Ole Georg lost the rights to those. Here is the address. (it helps...

We all know that one of the most growing environmental problems that we are facing today is global warming and this is due to a lot of reasons that only points directly to our neglect to Mother Earth. And aside from those environmental problems that we are facing, the price of the petroleum gas...

My Ion will be paid off this coming April,the selection out there isnt so inspiring,I'm 50,so i'll just wait it out I guess,

Hi, Any ideas as to what sensor would trigger this? Engine is running ok, I haven't changed the oil in awhile. No smoke out the tail pipe. Oil level is good. Would the water pump have seized? Model SL1 year 93 Thanks

Hi - I have a '06 Vue (4cyl, 5-speed) with the standard stock steel rims. I have 45K on it now and I'm starting to get increasing road noise. It's very mildly starting to sound like I'm driving with off road tread. As I had the same happen on my old Saturn, I'm suspecting the tires are...

Looking for a bit of help. I have a 1998 SW2 that I have had since new. It has about 125,000 miles on it and still going strong. Just recently it started developing a occasional 'bangy' clunk when turning. I was thinking CV joint but I think that would be more than one clunk (it would be...

I have a 2000 Saturn SL-2 and three times in the last month when I turn the key, all the dash lights go on but the starter doesn't engage. If I leave the car a while it will start, but I can get a diagnosis because when I take the car in it has started. Does it sound like a solenoid or starter...

I've noticed that my cooling fan kicks in excessively - like when the gauge reads that the engine is at 'normal' temperatures. It only stays on for a few moments, usually when I'm idling (like in a drive thru) and shuts off - and it doesn't appear to lower engine temp like with my SC2. I can...

I just replaced the battery on my 2002 4cyl Vue. Since then I noticed that the idle surges wildly, almost to the point of stalling, whenever the air conditioner is on. No problems at all with the A/C off. I know that after a battery replacement there is a period of time required for the computer...
