#17 of 46 problems with power window on a 2002 SC2 by dkscaddy Oct 05, 2007 (4:40 pm)
My passenger side window works just fine in my 2002 SC2 Saturn. The window on the driver side goes down with out a problem , you can even stop it half way down. You just hope the best when it comes to getting the window up. Right now, it is down all way and refuses to raise. There has never been a pattern as to when it will go down and come back up and the same trick never worked 2 times in a row when it came to raising it. Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a problem that can be fixed in the driveway, or does it need to go in to the shop? Any suggestions would be appreciated ! Replies to this message: timkarlberg (Oct 10, 2007 1:09 pm)

Replying to: dkscaddy (Oct 05, 2007 4:40 pm) I have a 1999 SW2 with the same problem on the rear passenger window. I've figured out a relatively simple and (so far) trustworthy fix. The window always goes down as far as it should, with no problems. Most of the time, though, if I only put it down part of the way it doesn't go back up again. In these cases, I have to stand with that door open, and pull it up manually with two hands--one on the inside, one on the outside. As long as I always roll the window ALL THE WAY UP AT ONCE or ALL THE WAY DOWN AT ONCE, there are no problems. Give it a try.

Replying to: belannafan (Jan 29, 2007 12:19 pm) I finally figured out the problem (two batteries and an alternator later). I have a 99 SW2 with the same issues--see my post further down. It was the Vehicle Speed Senser. I picked one up at my Napa shop for a few bucks and had it in the car after about 30 minutes of monkeying (it's not the easiest to reach). Problem solved for good. That was several months ago and not the slightest hint of trouble since. The bad news is the money and time I spent replacing the other things. Oh well; it's a happy ending.
#21 of 46 SL2 Engine cuts off when applying brake by skaus Dec 14, 2007 (12:44 pm)
Hi All Yesterday I was 95 miles from home and I had a transmission leak from the filter. I lost 3 qts of oil. I replaced the filter and put 3 qts back . The reason I looked under the hood was 2 fold. I kept stalling at my destination and the ABS light was on. The engine would stall only if I applied the brake pedal.    Six hrs later in panic mode ,having to drive 85 miles back home I found 1 solution. Remove fuse from brake and I made it home. If I but the fuse back in and press the brake pedal the engine will die .    Okay my transmission was soaked with oil. I cleaned off all oil. I checked the wiring harness and it was clean .    **In front of transmission are 2 sensors or switches. If I look at wiring diagram it shows Brake transmission safety interlock ,Brake sense switch and stop light switch all in series. Could one of these be my problem? Another thing when I step on brake pedal the dash board left and right signals light up dimly . Today I put the brake fuse back in and everything is okay. I do not trust this car at the moment. Anyone have a clue   Please let me know what you think. Thanks
#22 of 46 Saturn SL2 Dash and rear lighs blowing fuses by macgloinn Dec 21, 2007 (7:00 pm)
I have a 96 saturn SL2. Both the dash light and the rear lights keep blowing a fuse They both stay on for about 2-3 minutes and then blow again. Also the chime no longer works when the door is open with the lights on. Any ideas?
#24 of 46 Saturn SL2 electrical or cooling problems? by quick3 Jan 04, 2008 (12:08 pm)
I have a 1993 SL2 with 120k on it. The fan won't come on? It's not the relay and not the fan itself? I am lost...could it be the the computer? I put a whlole new top end on this car.. If I want to drive it I would have to hard wire the fan...   Any help or suggestions would be great ..   Thanks, Rick Phoenix, Az. Replies to this message: 442dude (Mar 22, 2008 3:05 pm)
#25 of 46 2002 saturn SC2 major electrical problems? HELP by sarahmac6 Mar 19, 2008 (11:12 am)
I have had my Saturn for a year and a half now and many electrical problems have arose and i wonder if they are related/are caused by the same thing   here they are: -my rear window defroster never worked (bought it in the summer so i didnt notice) -my gas gauge stopped working, then my car wouldnt start...fuel sensor was broken according to the dealer, and was fixed for about $700 -all my dash lights went out -my driver side window stopped working...the dealer said it was both the switch and the motor (not sensible to me) but i havent had it fixed yet   is there maybe some overall electrical issue with my car causing all of these individual problems? i really dont want to keep spending hundreds and hundreds to fix them but not actually find the source of the problems

Replying to: quick3 (Jan 04, 2008 12:08 pm) Does the fan come on when you turn the AC on???   Here's a guess based upon not being there...have you ever replaced your engine coolant temp sensor (ECTS) If the car doesn't know its hot the fan won't come on. Also, the S-series fans come on when the temp needle is just about to enter the red zone, higher than most....
