Where is the brake fluid located in the 2003 Saturn L 200?
The brake fluid reservoir is on top of the master cylinder. Right in front of the driver, mounted to the firewall.
How do you remove the driver's side door panel to replace a window motor on a 2000 Saturn?
Take off door handle which has 2 rods connected to it, one for lock and the other for door opening. They slide in and are held in place with a plastic clamp that spins( dont break it as the rods will not stay in on their own). A couple of screws here and there 2 in the door pull handle, and on the bottom of the panel. The panel has to be slid up about a inch or 2 then pulled off. The top of the panel has to clear the lip at the top where it fits into the door next to the window.

This indicator is telling you that the antifreeze level in your engine compartment overflow container is low. Under the hood, look on the left side (from the front) for the container. On the outside is marked the ideal level. If the level is very low, something is leaking in your coolant system and should be checked. If it's just a little low, go ahead and put a little antifreeze in there. NOTE: Do NOT open this container if the engine is hot. That sounds like you are describing the hazard warning system control switch. If so the switch is normally activated by pushing it down. That causes the turn signal lights on all four corners of the car to flash. That is a hazard warniong to other cars that you would activate when your car is moving much slower than normal trafic or is stopped on the shoulder of the road. Normally the system is deactivated by pulling up on the same switch. Water Level
What do the fuses control in Saturn L?
Fuses are in place to protect just about every circuit in an automobile. About the only thing that is not on a fuse would be the starter. Technically, the fuses do not "control" anything. They only blow when something has gone bad.
This answer although technically correct fails to answer the question completely and it is at least partially due to the vagueness of the question.
Since the fuses do 'control' power to the vehicles many powered devices I believe the question is asking for a layout of the fuse panel to understand which fuses go to their respective devices. Normally this is found in the vehicles Owners Manual.
It will show a picture of the panel(s) location and their respective fuse values and function.

Why does a 94 Saturn leak coolant if its cold?
Loose hose clamp or fitting?
Thermostat housing loose? Expands when gets hot
Possible heater core leak.
How do you fix cruise control that got stuck on Saturn L200?
That sounds more like a mechanical problem with the cruise control cable. Check for a damaged or worn cable from the cruise control module or from the accelerator pedal.
You should take the vehicle to a shop that specializes in Saturn's, and describe the problem. Don't take it on the highway again until the problem is repaired; in fact, you probably shouldn't really be driving it.
Have you call your local library. That might have one in the reference area.
How do you remove the front drivers side door panel on a 2001 Saturn L200?

Nothing happens, except your wallet will be lighter.
How do you replace the electric fuel pump for a 2002 Saturn L300 with a v-6 engine?
First step: Drop the fuel tank. That's a lot easier if you siphon out most of the fuel first.
From there, it's all pretty intuitive.

It's surprising how little accurate information is available regarding shock absorbers/struts.
Almost everything you hear from mechanic shops and salesmen is wrong, and most of what you read on the internet is simply regurgitation's of the information that came from those simple-minded mechanics.
Before you decide to replace shocks, you need to understand what they do.
Imagine your tire is a basketball, rolling down the road. When it hits a pothole or other bump, the basketball will bounce. You don't want the basketball to bounce, since that causes the basketball to leave the road.
The tire of your car bounces too, even though the springs try to keep it on the ground. But when the tires bounce you will feel the slight loss of control, especially if you're trying to maneuver a curve on a washboard road.
Properly functioning shock absorbers limit the speed with which a tire can travel in one or both directions.
Shock absorber salesmen will try to tell you that "Double Action" shocks are better, yet auto manufacturers typically use single action shock absorbers for most production vehicles. You don't need to control every action of the wheel/springs, just enough to prevent the tire from leaving the road. If a single action shock absorber is good enough for the automotive engineers, it's certainly good enough for me.
So, back to the original question; when do you need new shocks.
1. if the shock absorber(s) are leaking oil, you probably should replace them, even if they ARE still doing their job. If they're leaking oil, they are just about through.
2. If you can bounce the car by hand, and the car keeps going when you stop helping it... in other words, bounce the car up and down a couple times, then when you let go see how long it takes to stop; if it moves down, then pretty much stops after you quit pushing, the shocks are probably okay.
3. Check the bushings. These are the rubber grommets that go between the shock absorbers and the frame/axle. If the grommets are worn out or missing, you need new shocks; well actually you need new grommets, but they come with the new shocks.
4. If the vehicle tends to keep bouncing as you go down the road, you need new shock absorbers.
can be a number of problmes take it toyour dealer to have it check out u don't know exactley where it is comming from or wt is making it do it they can tell u
Answermost likely one of your belts u need to take it in to have it checkd and looked at to fix the problemWhere do you plug in diagnostic reader on 2001 Saturn?
On most Saturn's, the OBD2 port is on the bottom of the dashboard, next to the steering column.
Why does your transmission stall when you use the AC?
It isn't your transmission that's stalling. It is your engine that stalls. The on-board computer is supposed to incease the engine Idle to prevent this. It will require more troubleshooting to find the part(s) that is(are) the culprit. Start by scanning the ECM for trouble codes and go from there.
1)If that doesnt work then after you remove the plastic cover and take off the nut...which is 13mm size, your going to need to get like channel locks or vice grips and pull the wiper arms off. 2)Once they are off, remove the cowl cover. You might need to get a small screwdriver and pry up the plastic screw and get a needle nose plier and pull the screw out and then the other little plastic thing the screw went into you have to pry out as well...it's not hard. 3)Then once you remove the screws, remove the lining strip and disconnect the wiper hose. 4)Now once the cowl cover is removed you'll see another plastic cover on the driver side. Remove that. There's a little white plastic thing holding it down. Take that off. Be careful because it might tear. If it does don't worry then it makes it easier to remove the cover. 5)Now you see a black plastic cover covering the gears and stuff. That just pops off. Take that off. 6)Now there's this torx head screw, just break it lose. Once its broken loss that whole gear thing will turn freely from the motor. You'll see an arm that stick up at an angle from the gear.It should be sticking up and to the right. It should be connected to another arm that actually pushes and pulls the blades. Turn the gear so that the arm is turned to the bottom left position. You might have to adjust it just a little to one side or the other but its in that general direction. 7) Once its set in that direction, re tighten the torx headed screw. Now put one blade on to see if its set correctly. Now if its not set correctly just adjust the wiper arm or readjust the gear. 8) Once you have it set. Do everything in reverse when you put it back together and you should be okay.
olds wiper problemif you pry off the plastic cover on the wiper blades- there will be a large nut- if this is not tightened down enough it will let the wipers shift from the original setting and even strip out some of the aluminum around the hole reposition the blade in the right spot and re tighten the nut
For the perfectionistIf you'd rather do it without breaking things, go get a re manufactured wiper motor assembly and replace it, assuring that the holes in the arms aren't stripped out.
How do you test the fan on a 1994 Saturn SL1?
Star the car, drive around for a few till it gets hot, then look at the fan and if the car is hot
you can hear it running and you can feel it pulling air if you put your hand by it.
To test the fan...use a 2" wire 18 gauge like the wires used in the harness for radio connector. strip 1/8 " each end. Now find fan thermocouple sending switch which is the second lower switch located on driver side or right side of engine towatd the front , near the top. it has two wires going to it , the other has one. squeez the black
connector and pull it off. Loop the connection(place wire, one in each hole) being careful not to let the bare wires touch. Start engine and the fan should turn on ok....If not it is bad. If it does and wont turn on when temp reaches 175 when connected to thermocouple switch, the switch is bad....
