I had the same problem with my 04 Ion 3 last winter. Sometimes it would start up normally, and other times nothing but a clicking sound like a dead battery. I replaced the battery but that did not cure it.
My local mechanic was at a loss so I took it to the dealer and it turned out to be part of the anti-theft system that was going bad, I want to say a relay but I don't recall exactly (it is now May). Basically it was not registering that the ignition key was valid. They replaced the part and it has worked fine since.
Oddly enough you could jump start the car and it would work- the dealer told me that jumping the car bypasses the switch. I could only jump start with the cables connected to the battery in the trunk (like you are not supposed to). I never could get it to jump start with the cables connected to the terminals in the engine compartment.
When I described the symptoms to the dealer they seemed to know right away what the problem was. It seems that they have seen it before.

Where is the starter on a 2002 Saturn vue 4 cylinder?
The starter on the 2002 Saturn vue is located on the front underside of the engine, follow the positive(red) cable from the battery and it should connect to the solenoid which is part of the starter.
Why does the third starter still only click on starting a 92 Saturn SC?
The reason it's clicking is because your battery is dead. Replace the battery and you're good to go. It just isn't providing enough juice to turn the starter over correctly.
Where is starter relay located on 2000 Saturn sl1?
I just found the relay on my 1999 sc2.I have a standard tranny and I followed the wires from the clutch safety switch. My relay was up under the dash on the drivers side taped with electrical tape to the harness. Hard to see get agood flashlight. Probably at the top of starter- follow the + battery cable should connect to starter solenoid (relay)
1999 Saturn SC1 that won't start it turns all the way over and nothing happens My battery is good i was told that maybe it could the starter solenoid?
If the starter is engaging and the starter is able to turn the engine normally, there is nothing wrong with the solenoid. Instead, I'd look at fuel, ignition and compression.
When 1997 Saturn sl starter clicks?
The single click, that you hear when the starter switch is operated, is the solenoid making the high tension connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor doesn't turn over, you will need to check both the battery feed to the solenoid and the feed from the solenoid to the starter motor (this is typically a short length of braided cable). I have known this cable to corrode through. If it has, the easiest remedy, is to replace the entire starter motor.
You have replaced your starter alternator battery and battery cables on your Saturn why is it still losing power?
