That depends on what's wrong with the steering lock; there are several parts in the mechanism.
Removing the steering wheel is the most hazardous; the air bag can discharge, causing serious injury, not to mention the fact that they are expensive.
Once the steering wheel is out of the way, make certain that the locking pin is working properly, often it's just an issue of lubrication and you don't really need any parts.
But the overwhelming majority of steering wheel lock problems are related to the lock mechanism binding up because the wheel is pulling to the side. You should be able to move the steering wheel a tiny amount if you work at it. Try turning the key as you move the wheel. Often that's all it takes.
You can program the keyless entry remote, for your 2001 Saturn L200, by holding the unlock and lock weapons at the same time. The red light will flash on and off. The remote will be programmed when the red light stays illuminated.
The air bag electronics are very sensitive. If you're asking this question you probably don't have the skills to be messing with the steering wheel assembly. If you mess with it the air bag can deploy causing YOU serious injury and the expense of replacing the air bag. Just take it to a professional, let them be responsible.
I presume that you are talking about with the remote trunk button. On a 2001 L200 it is located near the drivers left hand dash vent. It may also be inside the glove box, (GM liked to put them there), However the worst case you can always use the ignition key to open it at the key lock on the trunk lid.
I have a 2001 Saturn sc2 and i was reading the driver's manual about this because I had trouble too., It seems as though the car as steering lock where if if turn your steering wheel a certain way, then it locks the key from being turned. All you have to do is turn the steering wheel a little and then turn the key. It should work!! Janie
Open the Child-locked door from the outside and look at the thin middle part of the door. There should be a little lever that shows a lock, or a child on it. Flip that switch to the other side
If you have a 6 speed and the steering wheel is unlocked then the only problem is you have to reset the message everytime. Assuming you had the dealer remove the lock pin in the column during the recall. Automatic Vette models is another problem where the steering could lock up.
Some times you can just jiggle the steering wheel back and forth as your try the ingition. The problem is common with LS2 Saturn steering locks; the steering lock must be engaged for this to work. If it isn't, use the above method to get it to lock.Once the steering lock is engaged you turn the steering wheel hard to the right as you turn the key in the ignition. This will usually free the switch up. Saturn keys are made of a very soft material and wear down significantly over time. USE CAUTION NOT TO USE SO MUCH FORCE ON THE KEY or it could snap off in the ignition. The brute strength should be applied to the steering wheel, not the key!
THIS IS HOW TO FIX IT disconect battery Take the cover off the colum just behind the steering wheel then put key in the lock and turn it all the way on like you were tring to start it at the same time take a small pick or VERY small screwdiver and push in the hole just above the lock cylind toworards the back of were you think the back of the lock is remimber the lock is only 2.5 inches long the pick should push the locking tab on the lock down and just pull out you must hold the locking tab down as you pull out then take the lock to the dealer to get a new one to be keyed they must have the old one to do so and your keys cost between $30 to be rebuit and $70 for a new one get the new one
