CAN you PULL A 1994 Pop up camper with your 2004 sl 300 Saturn v6?

You probably should read your owners manual .

Considering you have an LS and not an SL then you should be alright...BUT read the owners manual and see what the maximum towing capacity is. Find out the gross weight of the camper and do not forget about additional payload in the car and supplies in the camper. You may also want to check the saturnfans.com forums under the LS and ask other members about their experience with towing. (SL stopped production in 2002 and only the LS has a 300 model with a V6)

What causes a 2001 Saturn LS speedometer odometer gas gauge to fluctuate wildly?

I need a fuse diagram, our speedometer does not work, neither does our seat belts work automatically. The drivers side seat belt is locked in the off position. We felt it may need a new fuse. We have changed the instrument cluster on the odometer.

How do you unplug the air conditioner drain in a 2002 Saturn L100?

locate the drain (its usually on under the hood on the firewall), stick a piece of mechanics wire into the drain and wiggle it around until it becomes unclogged.

Saturn L300 died and now it will turn over but will not start?

It sounds like your "Timing Belt" broke. Have it checked, if it's broken it should cost around $200 to have it replaced on your six cylinder L300.

Where is the tail light bulb on a 1998 Saturn sl2 and how do you get to it?

First, smash everything with a hammer until you can get to the bulb. The bulb should have a part number on the base. Replace with same bulb bought from autoparts store. Couldn't have been easier, eh?

What is rasiprocating compressor?

A reciprocating compressor is one in which a piston or diaphragm moves in a reciprocating motion. The compressor used in the AC system of a Saturn is NOT a reciprocating compressor. It is most likely a "rotary vane" compressor.

How do you run sega Saturn on psp?

High idle problem on a 1997 Saturn SC1 when car is in gear?

I have the same problem with my 98 sc1. After the car is warm I disconnected the Idel Air Valve Wire, the service engine light come on but the car didnt have the high idel problem. (the idel air valve also control the cold start "choke" you have to have it connected or it might quit from low idel and for your car to cold start the next day) I replaced the Idel Air Valve $45 and PCV Valve, and cleared the computer codes. Helped alot but didnt completely fix the problem. My next step is to buy a gasket for the throttle body.

How much would it cost to install a moon roof in a 1997 Saturn sl2?

When you have a sun or moon roof installed, low cost shouldn't be your first consideration. The quality of the job is most important, as a cheap installation is more likely to develop leaks. Choose your installer carefully.

On a Saturn LS1 is there a fuse in the car that controls the lock unlock panic remote?

the key less entry is controlled by the body control module.There isn't a specific fuse for that operation. There are fuses for the lock actuator. Not knowing your specific problem its had to understand what you want.

2001 saturn wheel bearing replacement cost?

Under $20 per wheel if you do it yourself, its not very hard and takes about 10 minutes a wheel. If you get it done at a shop; much more expensive, exact cost will be location dependent.

How do you remove timing cover on 93 Saturn 1.9?

The timing chain cover on you 4 cylinder Saturn is ALSO the oil pump, so it's a significant part of the engine.

To remove the cover/pump:

  • Jack up the front of the vehicle and put it on jack stands or other safe supports. Never climb under a vehicle that is not safely supported and never trust a jack.
  • Remove the right side (passenger side) tire.
  • Remove the mud shield to expose the pulley end of the engine.
  • Remove the serpentine belt.
  • Remove the dampener pulley (that's the pulley that drives the serpentine belt)
  • Remove any peripherals that interfere with removing the cover.
  • Support the engine then remove the upper passenger side engine mount.
  • Remove the camshaft cover.
  • NOW you can finally get to the timing chain cover.

Note that the Saturn 4 cylinder engines (1.9 either the single cam or dual cam) used an oil bath timing chain rather than a timing belt, and generally, if the engine has been properly maintained, there is no need to replace the timing chain until it's time to rebuild the engine.

Your ac on your 93 twin cam Saturn will not turn on also the fan does not operate what should you do?

i have replaced the fan, ( it does work when i attatch the code reader), the ac switch light does turn on, i have checked the fuses, all seem to be working, i am stumpted.

How can you tell if the head gasket is blown on a 1998 Saturn and is there a chance the head gasket is blown if it keeps overheating but otherwise runs perfectly?

The easiest way to see if a head gasket is blown is to check the oil, if it is light brown and milky looking then the head gasket is blown.

My 1998 Saturn would always overheat. I had replaced the radiator twice and all of the hoses but it continued to happen. The people at Saturn did not know the problem. I brought it to a raditor place and the replaced the gauge that reads the temperature and fixed the problem. The gauge was reading at a much lower temperature than the car really was so the fan would not turn on to cool down the car causing it to overheat. This might be your problem.

There is a chemical that can be added to the coolant that will expose exhaust fumes. The head gasket may be fine, but overheating will endanger it.

overheating could also be caused by a bad engine coolant temperature sensor, or a bad thermostat, possibly even a bad PCM.
