Also, It doesn't matter if it is on defrost, heat, vent or whatever. It never overheats until you turn the thermostat control to hot. Then the gauge goes up. You turn it back to cold and it goes back down. I checked the heater core and thermostat. Any ideas? Thats a strange one. Heater settings should not make a difference in the operating temperature of the engine unless some kind of electrical malfunction is preventing the radiator cooling fan from coming on when the temp is set to hot. Check to see that the fan is running when the heat is on and maybe you will have a place to start troubleshooting the problem.

Why does a 1999 Saturn heats up to half way on temperature gauge then cools off to quarter when parked idling?

The 1999 Saturn S-Series engine heats up the coolant, the thermostat valve opens and the coolant circulates between the radiator and the engine. Then the radiator fans turn on to cool it back down. The fans are also turned on when the air conditioner is turned on to aid in cooling the radiator and the air conditioner condensor.
