#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....
#27 of 46 Saturn L Series Power Door Locks by robstuff Mar 23, 2008 (6:20 pm)
My power door locks open and close very intermittently whether or not the key is in the ignition. I have tried replacing the relays but the problem continues. The only way to stop the locks is to remove one relay and break the circuit. Could it be the computer? Any suggestions? Thanks

#29 of 46 Weird electrical problem by starrycj1 Jul 10, 2008 (2:02 pm)
I drive a 2000 SL1 with about 150,000 miles. I have a 2 week history of weird events, and I'd like to go to the mechanic a little better informed.   Event 1- I start the car and start to back out of the parking lot. All of my indicator lights stay on and I have zero gas and zero speed. (though I have gas in the tank and am moving.) I turn the car off and the engine cranks but won't turn over. So, I disconnected the battery waited 1 minute, reconnected, and it started fine and everything worked.   2- Later, I was driving and my fuel indicator rapidly fell to 0, I lost speed indicator and my indicator lights went on (after driving a while this time). I pulled over, turned off the car and restarted. Everything was fine.   3- Again, I pulled out of a parking lot and lost power steering. I rolled out of the way, and after a few tries with just cranking, the car started and everything was fine.   4- Last night, I left work and it wouldn't crank at all. My clock was even blank. But the radio would work when I turned it to the fan/ radio on position. I disconnected the battery, 1 minute, reconnect, and it started fine. Started fine this morning too.   I'm suspicious about the recent hot weather here having a part in this, but it wasn't hot every time. Probably not the battery because most of the time it works.   Any ideas? How much is this going to cost me?
#30 of 46 Re: 1999 SL2 Electrical Short(?) [timkarlberg] by nshore Jul 17, 2008 (3:41 am)
Replying to: timkarlberg (Jun 17, 2007 9:34 am) I drive a 2002 Saturn SL and have had various problems (steering column, ignition switch issues), which had to be fixed at the dealership. Now, my instrument panel is basically dead. I have no readings for my gas gauge, odometer, speedometer, rpm, or any sensor readings. My turn signals, emergency lights, and inside and outside lights work properly. My clock, cd player, and air work as well. I've troubleshooted some and have determined that it's not an alternator or fuse problem. None of the relays are specific to that area either. I believe I either have a short at one or more of the wires at my instrument panel or it's a computer chip problem. The problem does seem too specific to be a computer chip problem (no fuel injection, or any other problems.) The problem is finding a schematic or wiring diagram for this area. I don't want to remove the dash and pull or adjust the wrong wire (air bag) and cause some serious problems.
