My 2004 Saturn ion runs hot what should I look for first?
Low coolant? Cooling fan not working? Thermostat not opening? Cooling system air bound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Plugged or restricted radiator? Defective radiator cap?
How do you fix the horn on a 2004 Saturn Ion?
I have a 2004 Saturn ION. Horn stopped working. I learned on the internet it is located under the driver's side headlight. I removed the headlight and the defective horn. I replaced it with an old horn from a Chevrolet. It was designed to ground to chassis through it's mount. I checked with my meter to find which wire was ground and plugged the lead from the horn into the other terminal. You can cut and splice but I left the existing connector in tact in case anyone ever wants to replace the horn with an OEM product. Total cost of project $0 since all of the components were foundlings.
How do I add transmission fluid to a 2003 Saturn Ion automatic transmission?
There is a black fill plug on the very top of the transmission. It is below a wiring harness and an AC line (I Believe).
How do you remove a Daewoo relay switch?
Remove the fuse box cover by squeezing the tab at the side. Find the relay you want to remove, then gently rock it from side to side whilst pulling. It will be stiff, but you should be able to remove it by hand.
When to adjust timing belt on a 06 Saturn ion?
There is no timing belt. Saturn Ion's use a timing chain.
Where is the oil drain plug located on a 2006 Saturn Ion?
Front passenger side. The plug is facing towards the rear of the car.
Where is the slave cylinder on 2004 Saturn ion 2?
underneath the master cylinder for the brakes in the engine bay.
How do you change the spark plugs in a 2003 Saturn ION?
I did this today. First thing I did was disconnect the electrical connector for the Ignition Control Module (the metal thing on the black cover in the top middle of the engine). Then I unbolted the holder for the Throttle Cable (that's the cable that runs over the engine and into the rear fire wall...it can be a bit difficult to get the the bolt, but I GENTLY pulled up on the metal A/C/ pipe over it), so I could get it out of the way. Once that's out of the way, unscrew the four bolts holding the cover/Ignition Module to the engine. Gently pull the cover off; this may be somewhat hard to get off because of the boots over the plugs, they use suction to stay on. Once off, unscrew the plugs (don't use to much force as you don't want to break the plug off). Once off, coat the threads of the new plugs with anti-seize compound and reinstall. I chose to finger tighten them, then a quarter to half turn with the ratchet. Don't over tighten them as you could strip the threads. Once they are in, put the cover back on, making sure the boots go over the plugs, reattach the holder for the Throttle Cable and reattach the plug for the ignition control module...then you're all set! I would recommend getting the OEM plugs from the dealer or a local auto parts store. The ones I got from the dealer are AC Delco Iridiums. The plugs don't require changing until the car has approximately 100,000 miles on it (160,000 KM).
I have also done my plugs today as well, But just remember one thing just because you don't hear the snap from the boots when putting the cover back on dosent mean that they are not on right.( Hold the cover down with your hands using alittle force not to much, Then tap on the cover lightly. Then start one bolt on one side don't tighten it all the way, Then on the other side the farthest away from the first bolt do the same but tighten that one down then go back to the first one and tighten.)

How do you change the battery in a 2005 Saturn Ion?
use a 10mm wrench and remove the battery from the trunk compartment, and replace it with the new battery
Where is the battery in a 2004 Saturn Ion level 2?
The battery is in the trunk, next to the spare tire. It's there to give better front to back weight distribution and longer life to the battery because it doesn't heat up with the engine.
Where is the starter on a 93 Saturn ion?
It is located on the passenger side in the back of the motor The best way to get to it is from underneath the car. It is hard to find but it there. It tucked away
Will the 15 steel wheels from a 1999 Saturn sc2 fit a 2004 Saturn ion?
no, the ion uses 14's (this answer is no good at all!! I don't know who write that, but when you don't know, DON'T ANSWER!!!) (the max wheel diameter to put on a SC is 19 inch, i guess it's the same for the ion.) in fact, i just bouth a ion's wheels to put in my SC2 1999 saturn. now, Oem sc's wheel with 195/60/15 (winter) and Oem Ion's wheel with 205/50/16 (summer) Little difference between the wheels. The center hole, the SC2 have a lil bigger center on the disc/drum, so i have to modify a lil the oem mag of the Ion to fit. But if you put SC's wheels on a Ion, i suppose the gap will but too wide and the wheels and disc/drum will hold only with the bolt, not with the ''lips'' of the disc/drum. RVDownshift
What to do if the reverse lights are not working in a 2003 Saturn Ion?
Check the fuses inside the driver's side kick panel (right side, against center console.) Turn the black screw, and then pull the panel directly off. Turn it around, and there is a diagram that will show which fuse is connected to what. Pull the fuse and make sure that it is not blown. (If it is blown the metal inside will not be connected.)
The one thing about Saturn's is if there is a problem with your car, then thousands of other people have the same problem. This problem is typical. I would bet it is the back up light switch if you drive a standard transmission. The back up light switch can be purchased for about $25.00 at an auto parts store. It plugs into your engine roughly below the battery. The battery may have to be removed to gain access to the plug, but its an easy fix. This only applies if you have a standard.
I removed the switch from the transaxel-with the front left wheel removed. Sometimes if you have some- electrical parts cleaner sprayed it the trans side of the switch can restore function to it. Had to do this because auto parts stores nearby did not stock this switch. works fine for now.How many miles per gallon does a 2006 Saturn Ion get?
We have a 2004 Ion Coupe and get between 34 - 36 MPG with it. This is primarily open road driving with very little stop and go.
How do you change the front brake pads on your 2006 Saturn Ion 3?
* Remove the fluid from the master cylinder until it is 1/2-full using a turkey baster or similar device. Remove the front wheel. To prevent the rotor from falling off, tighten the stud nuts. Install the C-clamp over the body of the caliper with the clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and against the outboard pad. * 2 Tighten the clamp until the caliper piston is compressed enough to allow the caliper to be removed. Remove the caliper lower bolt. Remove the 2 [http://www.ehow.com/how_4508058_front-disc-brakes-saturn-ion.html# brake pads] and the pad clips from the caliper support. Throw away the old pad clips. Closely check the caliper pins, pin boots and the piston boot for damage.

Install the new brake pads and clips to the caliper bracket. Using silicone grease, lubricate the pin boots and guide pins. Reinstall the pin boots. Reconnect the caliper over the brake pads. Reinstall the caliper lower bolt through the caliper.

Does it really matter if you unleaded vs super unleaded gas?
Unless your owners manual says that you must use super unleaded gas, you should just use regular unleaded. Otherwise you are just wasting your money and possibly harming your engine. super unleaded petrol has a higher octain rate than unleaded. check your owners manual for the optimal rate you should be using for the engine.
Is the spring on the spring loaded belt tensioner internal or external on 1993 Saturn?
the tensioner assembly is bolted to the side of the engine block. the spring is contained within the assembly. View my BIO for access to my Saturn help site. there is a picture of the assembly under the Serpentine belt folder
How do you you replace the license plate light to a 2006 Saturn Ion?
Very very carefully the screws like to get rusted in there and when you go to loosen them the plastic housing that holds the bulb will break trust me lol i have been looking for a few months now for a replacement plastic lol.
Does the 2003 Saturn Ion have a transmission dipstick?
If it is an automatic, then all cars have dipsticks. But if the Saturn is a stick-shift it wont have a dipstick.
Edit: all cars don't have tranny dipsticks, my sister in law has a 2004 Saturn Ion L2 and there is no visible dipstick.. (still looking, cant seem to find an answer ANYWHERE)
I would guess that it depends on the model, but on a 2005 Ion 2 it is 30mm.
Where are spark plugs located in 2004 Saturn Ion?
Depends if its a 2.0l redline or a 2.2l stock ion. on the redline they are located under the center cover on top of the motor. you must remove the coils to get to the plugs. on the 2.2l idk. if its a DOHC then it is the same way.
