Original equipment Saturn batteries have a "side post" battery connection. Disconnect the negative battery connection first, then remove the positive connection.
Next remove the battery "hold down" assembly, by removing the bolt. It's a single bolt that holds a clamp bar, near the bottom of the battery.
Lift out the battery, put the new battery in it's place, replace the hold down assembly, reconnect the positive side post connection, reconnect the negative side post connection... then FINALLY, re-program the radio to your favorite pre-selects and set the clock time.

See the link for instruction and photos. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The 95 Saturn SL1 does it too.
Disconnect the battery for about 20 seconds.
Approx $500-$600.
4 quarts with filter change
Vehicle does not have torsion bars
Yes, this is a fuel injected engine.
The 1993 Saturn SL2 does not have an inertia switch. Inertia switches are typically found in vehicles equipped with fuel pumps that need to shut off in the event of a collision, but Saturn models from that era did not include this feature. Instead, the fuel system in the SL2 is controlled by a standard relay and fuse arrangement.
port # 20
I drove my 1995 Saturn sl2 until it had 263,000 miles on it. At that time, the transmission started to slip. I then gave it to a friend, to buy a newer Saturn sl1.
there is a relay box under the hood by the battery in most sl2's. check that or in the fuse pannel on the passenger side.
