Probably dirty battery cables.
I have a 1994 SC2 that had the same problem, I checked the battery conditon, battery cable condition and had the starter tested and all were fine. It turns out that is was the ingnition wiring in the steering column. One of the wires was not making good connection, I found this out while trying to take the ingnition out to replace it. You will need a 5.5mm nut driver to take apart the steering column covers, and make sure you get the one behind the tilt lever.
It could be that but it can also be your starter. I also have a 93 Saturn sl2 that did the same thing to me. I replaced the starter with the the updated one that they have out and car started up afterwards. also.
The clicking noise that you hear is the starter solenoid trying to get the starter to run. Chances are the bendix in the starter is locked up. A good fix for a locked up bendix is a few good taps with a hammer. This should free up the bendix.
Check the neutral safety switch. If you try moving the shifter while you're holding the key in the start position you MIGHT get a little pop from the starter. If that happens your neutral safety switch might be either misaligned or just plain faulty.
Other possibilities might be: bad starter, bad keyswitch, faulty connection...
It's either fuel, spark or compression. First you have to narrow it down, then figure out where to go from there.
have u checked ur battery
battery, either its dead, connections are corroded or mice ate their way through
Seized engine? Dead or weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Defective starter or starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch?
If the Saturn Sl2 will turn over but not start, check for ignition fire first. If there is no fire then look at the crank shaft sensor and coil pack as possible problem areas.
i have a 2002 saturn and i took the stearin wheel out to change the horn and when i put it back together no light will come on and the car wont start
Bad coil , blown fuse, bad spark control module , bad cam/crank sensors to start with
Check the bulbs they are double filamented with samller filament for turn signals Could be a problem in steering column
check the slave cylinder for cluch when cold try pumping cluch pedal 4 or 5 times then hold depressed and try to start cylinder is by passing must activate nut switch
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.
the engine is locked up. Not good. Very expensive.
Look to see if the ignition plug to your starter did not come loose or un plugged. Since this is on the same side, possible disconnect of the starter ignition wire became disconnected
It won't turn because it is screwed up or the wrong key.
1997 cadillac deville will not turn over
Not all vehicles are made so that the consumer can turn the airbags off. You may have to take it to your local Saturn dealership. If this is the case, they will have the service department turn it off for you.
You fix what is setting the code off in the first place
Check the connections at the starter, and at the battery. If they are good, remove the starter and have it bench tested at an Auto Parts Store.
The engine will turn over , but either run poorly or not at all
have your fuel injectors cleaned
check for fuel pressure/ and then check to see it its fireing. no fire could be a coil pack or/ computer. no fuel could be fuel pump or filter or injector pulse.
Clutch pedal switch or deteriated clutch pedal switch pad.
dead battery
The Engine can turn over with out gas. The started is engaged and turn the crankshaft, just as one would turn the engine over by hand. For sustained revolutions however, gas is needed to react in the engine chambers
Could be a low refrigerant charge Could be a bad fuse
