I just replaced the radiator in my 97 SL2 today. What exactly are you asking? Step by step instructions?
A 1997 sadder and station wagon radiator is $900. The radiator cost approximately $700. The labor to install the radiator will be approximately $200.
There is no radiator fan switch on the s-series.
It is located at the lower radiator hose where it connects with the block.
Replacing the radiator support should allow the hood to latch properly. If you are doing it yourself be sure to measure, measure again and measure some more to avoid and misalignment issues. I hope everything works out!
~$600
It is in the front of the radiator area clipped to the radiator support.

Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, what that mounts to is the thermostat housing, remove this and there is your thermostat. * ** *** **** ***** Actually, on my 1997 SL2, the thermostat is on the bottom radiator hose. I would check the "Saturn Thermostat Pictures" link below, which also has installation and removal instructions.
The 1997 Saturn knock?æsensor is located on the back of the engine. The knock sensor can be removed by removing the wiring harness and the retaining bolts.

facing your truck it should be mounted on the radiator core support to the right of the radiator.
The radiator fan will start to work once your engine reaches a certain operating temperature.
