2002 VUE Horn and Ignition by slimrizzo
Aug 30, 2006 (8:35 pm)
I have a 2002 vue and the horn wont sound nor will the alarm sound and I had the fuses and relay switch checked. I can't even find the actual horn under the hood. And when I place the key in the ignition I have to jar it around before I can get it to turn over.

Brake Pedal has low pressure by arayla
Aug 31, 2006 (3:28 pm)
Hello -
 
I have a '96 Saturn SL1.
My brake pedal takes forever to finally "catch". The brakes are fine, pads, fluid and all. The thoughts are that it may be the master cylinder, or it may not. If it is great, if it isn't I'm out over $200 for nothing. Everyone I have talked to about it says Saturns are weird and it may not be the cylinder at all, including my mechanic.
 
So - I was wondering if anyone else had experience with a problem like this - or if someone may just know if the cylinder is the problem or not.
 
To replace or not to replace - That is the question!
 
Thanks,
Christine

I just got my car jumpstarted, and now the passlock system was engaged , do I have to take it to a Saturn service center, or can I un-engage it myself?
 
Thanks,

Dropping Gears by lily_unicornis
Sep 05, 2006 (5:22 am)
My 96' SC1 has been dropping gears for well over a month now. The first occurrance happened on my way home from work (a 45 min drive) and all gears besides second were lost. Since I was less than a block away from a mechanic, he got the keys and the car. Seems the shifter cable had snapped. Since the part has been replaced, it seems the car only goes for about six or seven days before losing all the gears besides one, except this time it is in the shop with only 1st, 3rd, and 5th working. I no longer have any faith in this mechanic's ability to actually fix the car, but since his work is under warranty and I dont' have the money right now to take it to someone I trust a little more, it's gone back to him. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should tell him to look at? Obviously, this whole breaking down every weekend thing is getting to be a huge problem, as my car being in the shop is keeping us from getting our other vehicles fixed (two of which need work) and has left us this week without ANY vehicles with which to get to or from work. I'm rather desperate for answers (or a skilled mechanic)

2003 Saturn Vue ABS indicator by jhlouky
Sep 06, 2006 (11:13 am)
My 2003 Vue has begun displaying the ABS indicator on the dash. When the ABS light is lit, the Traction Control is off and cannot be re-activated. Obviously, a correlation. Sometimes, the ABS light is off and my Traction Control light is on (indicating feature active). Before I have the dealer diagnose, are there common problems associated with the ABS I should know about?

Problems starting 02 saturn L300 by silbjck
Sep 09, 2006 (9:25 pm)
One day about a year ago, I started my car and a "reduced power" light came on. I reversed out of my spot, only to realize "reduced power" meant no power. I turned my car off, then back on and it seemed to be working fine, besides the "Service engine soon" light being on. That same week, I tried to start it, and it seemed like it wanted to start, but wouldn't. I eventually got it to start and took it to the dealer. They replaced the ECM... a month later, they replaced it again. After 3 new ECM units, they then decided it was the fuel pump. It has been a year now, and after my most recent visit to the dealership, the assured me this would not happen again. Today, it did.... Any suggestions on what it could be??? My car is (thankfully) covered under an extended warranty, but that is about to expire. I need help fast!!!

Re: 2002 L300 Turn Signal Problems [lswatts] by jimfinnegan

All of the flashers are controlled from the flasher button on the dashboard. There is a control module built into the button assembly which controls the flashers and the turn signal. If any of the flashers are on, you can feel the flash by touching the button. The panel can be snapped out of the console and pulled away far enough to access the flasher assembly. The flasher can be (carefully) snapped out and replaced in 5 minutes. It's about $30 from a dealer.

2002 l100 loss of right front assembly by saturnbyebye
Oct 05, 2006 (4:36 pm)
I had a 2002 L100 which had the entire right front wheel assembly including brake, axle strut etc come off while driving down an interstate. Saturn claims an object got under the front bumper and then took out the entire wheel assembly then disappeared as the police responding could not find anything in the road. I had to ride guard rail to stop. I wonder if anyone has had any similar or partial problems. Car had 73000 miles on it and has been totaled by insurance company. Thanks.

Has anyone had any luck changing the relay on 2002 Saturn Vue? I was able to pull the hazard (flasher) button out of the console & see the assembly & light bulb, but there was no way it seemed like it was going to be snapped out.
 
We've been having the same problems with the turn signals as the original poster.
 
Thanks.
