Do I need to do anything other than disconnect the battery to disable the airbags on this car so I can replace the ignition lock?
 
Thanks

#3 of 236 Horn Malfunction--HELP PLEASE! by carman26

Jul 14, 2007 (7:15 pm)

The horn on my 1996 Saturn SC1 sedan started going off one day incessantly. After touching the horn button it stopped. I visited several mechanics, who said that I need a new horn.
 
I bought a new horn (the one with the two mounting sites). However, my Saturn horn has a three-wire relay cap. I cut that off (per seller at AutoZone) and have tried "wrapping" each wire on one mount while the other is attached to a cable that is attached to the grounded horn. Nothing works.
 
QUESTION: WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?!? How can I get this work!?!? PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!

Yes.
Pull the SIR fuse and disconnect the SIR power plugs for the bags under the dash.

Since your old horn works incessantly, I'm betting it's not the problem. My money is on the horn switch inside the steering wheel or the horn relay.

#6 of 236 SL2 A/C Blower by minicoopers

Jul 23, 2007 (9:00 pm)

1995 SL2
188k miles
A/C works fine, good pressures
Blower motor good (bench tested)
Blower resistors good (bench tested)
Blower relay good (bench tested)
Blower switch good (bench tested)
Alternator output checked
Battery checked
All fuses good
 
Problem:
Turn on A/C and blower runs fine for about 5 minutes then it slows down and sometimes stops. Same results on any blower speed. Blower light dims as blower speed decreases.
Solutions anyone?

Take the negative cable off,take the air bag fuse out. Check your key first, worn key's will cause problems. Compair your key with another.

Connect a DVOM to Ground and check the following terminals of the blower switch for voltage with the switch in each position.
Speed Terminal
LO E
MED D
MED2 B
HI A
Is there voltage at all terminals ?

Back in 1996 Saturn had a problem with the relay in the horn. They had a Bulletin in 1996 for the repair. And on some occasion's the horn buttons get stuck (in the air bag) and causing the horn to stay on

I can help but I need your CODES
Do you have a E11 IN ENGINE CONTROLS ?
That will tell you, you have a transmission code set.
  
For starts right down your codes (engine & trans) and clear them. Drive the vehical till your code comes back and check to see what reset.
