#784 of 860 2000 SATURN SL-1 ELECTIRICAL PROBLEM?? by jbermudez Jan 08, 2007 (3:53 pm)
Hello all, here my problem in detail. my girlfriend owns the car. she has complained to me that on occasion (5 times in the last month) she needs to get jump started at work when she is going home. *** note I bought her a new battery about 2 months ago.***   Everytime when she gets home I check the car and everything seems fine??? but this morning We woke up and her car was dead. I tryed to jump it but the battery would not hold a charge. So I tried to charge the battery. I've got a fancy battery charger that had a diagnostic code that said the battrey was bad. no prob, I have seen this before. So I went to NAPA and bought a new battery.   Here the current prob. I hooked up the new battery. went to crank the car over and the was a click and everything went out. no power, no accessory, no headlights, nothing.. (however the time was on the stock stereo!). I took the neg off the battery to see if it would reset anything and reconnected it nothing, same problem totally dead.   I check all the 30 & 50 amp fuses all look good. it is my suspesion possible a relay is bad???? when I reconnect the battery I hear no clicking from any relays.   Any suggestions are very appreciated.   johnb

Ok here it is. I went out last night in the dark to see if I could see anything diffrent on the car. and this is what's up.   I connected a brand new battery and waited 15 min I turned the key and nothing, no power to anything,no accessory, no dash lights, no lights nothing. in the dark when I turn the key. I do see a very faint light for the heater come on of a half of second then gets dim(this is so faint I cannot see in the day). the stereo clock LCD is on????   I pulled ever single fuse and check and reseated them. all is good. I pulled and reseated all the relays.   Can someone tell me what could cause a no power problem like this??? bad ignition switch???    thanks, john b Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 09, 2007 4:45 pm)

Replying to: jbermudez (Jan 09, 2007 12:11 pm) Do you have headlights? If you don't, you have a battery cable problem I'd guess.
#789 of 860 Tail Light Access? by paula8 Jan 10, 2007 (11:05 am)
I have a '96 SL1 on which a brake light has just burned out, and I'm at a loss as to how to replace the bulb. There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the bulbs; inside, the trunk liner is a solid piece of plastic. Outside, there are no screws to remove the light cover. The only possibility appears to be a thin piece of rubber on the lip of the rear body (covered by the trunk lid when it's closed) that has two screw-like heads on it. Unfortunately, neither has a groove in it so it's hard to see whether these are meant to be removed.    Is it possible to remove and replace the bulbs, or is this deliberately designed to be a "Saturn-service only" procedure?    Many thanks for your advice.

#792 of 860 Wierd Electrical Grief by grandwazoo Jan 22, 2007 (5:18 am)
My 2001 L300 sedan has started having intermittent electrical issues. I had a new crank sensor put in 6 months ago (car stranded me twice, first). The headlights now flicker constantly in time with the engine speed, the door locks and interior light go dead when I shut the car off, and worst of all the headlights and instrument panel lights shut off when I open or shut the windows (when this happens the battery light comes on for a second, but only sometimes). Also seems to crank longer and harder when starting. All this started suddenly on Friday (at first I attributed it to the sudden cold snap, but it's gotten worse over the weekend). The battery is 1 yr old. I know from sad experience that when something begins to act funky on this car, disaster is coming soon. Any ideas? I appreciate any help. Thanks.
