Why won't my Saturn sl1 temperature gauge move?
The reason why Saturn S-Series are notorious for having false reading coolant temperature gauges is because of a design flaw. The sensor itself on the early S-Series is made out of a resin. Over time that resin after many heating and cooling cycles, it begins to absorb coolant and/or crack. Basically depending on the year of your SL1 (any S-Series for that matter), it will have a temp sensor that should be replaced. The aftermarket makers of the part have made them in such a way that they are no longer a resin tip, but instead a brass tip. This design is less susceptible to failure and is superior.
F.Y.I
1) 1991-1995 S-Series have two sensors. They are located on the drivers side of the cylinder head below the radiator hose. On the 1991-1995 the sensor which gives information to the gauge in the instrument cluster is the sensor closest to the front of the car (it will have a 1-wire connection). On 1996 and up S-Series, there is just one sensor and it handles the duty of sending the computer a signal as well as the instrument cluster.
What type of engine coolant do you use for a 1999 Saturn SL2?
For a 1999 Saturn SL2, it is recommended to use a universal antifreeze/coolant that meets the GM specifications for your vehicle, typically a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. You can also check your vehicle's owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Where is the gas filler door release lever on a 1997 Saturn 2 door?
The gas filler door release lever on a 1997 Saturn 2 door is usually located on the driver's side, either on the driver's door panel or on the floor near the driver's seat. It may be a small lever or button that you pull or push to release the gas filler door. If you're having trouble finding it, refer to your vehicle's owner manual for specific instructions.
Saturn means:
Saturn was the Roman god of agriculture. He was called Kronos by the Greeks. He is the son of Uranus and the father of Jupiter. Saturn overthrew his father to become king of the gods, but was then overthrown himself by his son Jupiter.
How much oil does a 1995 Saturn SL2 hold?
coolant capacity for the 96 Saturn SC2 is 7 quarts, almost 2 gallons.
Why does the trunk of a 1999 Saturn sc fill with water after rain?
I am guessing that you have a sunroof...if so the drain tubes pass through the trunk compartment and actually couple together on both sides of the trunk. If you pull the trim back from the rear corners of the trunk, right next to the taillights, you should see the tubes. Good luck!!! If you are getting water in there and there isn't a sunroof, it might be a good idea to get it into a dealer!!
Where is the fuel regulator on a Saturn vue with the 3.5 v6?
I don't know about the 3.5L, but on the 2003 Saturn Vue 2.4L and the 3.0L, it's in the fuel filter. You can get the fuel filter for the 2.4L at any auto parts house, around $70.00. The 3.0L fuel filter/regulator, is a dealer item.
How much did a Saturn S series originally cost?
Typically it was in the upper $19,000's to low $20,000's.
Why would a Saturn have no power if it was running fine when you turned it off?
FYI: Next thing to go on your car will be your fuel pump... all Saturns folow the same road.... alternator first then fuel pump... :-(... good luck..!!
Who asked Do you have a change for a hern in a 1950's television series?
I don't know about the show, but I had the album! it was a screenwriter named Sheldon Allman, who had a record called, I think, "Folk Songs for the 21st Century," that had the song "Do you have change for a hern/I beg you do not spurn/It may sound very funny/I just have martian money..." etc.
It was an album of offkey (not offcolor) songs with a science fiction theme. It was a classic, just sorry I gave it away somewhere along the way.
My recollection is that is was a short-lived sketch series by Red Skelton. I think he raised the question one week and brought a detailed poster the following week showing a whole new monetary system based on the hern.
No, no, no - - it was Milton Berle, who used the phrase as a running gag.
How do you remove the window crank from a 1996 Saturn SE?
A lot of older window cranks are held in with a clip which is difficult to get out unless you buy a special tool sold at auto parts stores made just for this application. If you ask at the parts store they will know just what you're talking about. The tool is pretty cheap in price from what I remember.
How do you change the starter on a 93 Saturn SC2 And where is it located?
In my experience with your hand anda few craftsman sockets and lowring the engine (there is no space for a tool to remove it so losen the engine mounts and transmounts takes about 3 to 6 hours to remove&instal plus a can of beer for me and your famiy (babies tooo)
I recently replaced the entire motor on an SL2 97 and the starter wasn't really a big deal.
It is behind the engine so you will need to first disconnect the positive battery cable.
Raise the vehicle.
The area you will be working in will be a bit tight but workable.
I found that removing the mounting bolts, lowering it gave me easier access to removing the wiring from it.
Reverse for installation.
#2 is an improvement over the first, but here's some additional info:
Two bolts. One is almost inaccessible. I used a 13mm deep well socket and a couple of different length extensions (one 4" and one 2") to reach the two different bolts and remove them.
While it helps to get as much room under the car as possible (I was only able to achieve a little under a foot working height with the ramps and jackstands I had), I also used a socket wrench (Stanley part #89-962--http://tinyurl.com/3587et) that allowed me to _twist_ the handle in addition to using a normal ratcheting action. Without it, I seriously doubt I would have removed the old starter and installed a new one in the time I did, since the working area is very, very constricted.
In addition to the two bolts, there are also the two nuts (referred to in answer 2) attaching the electrical leads. Frankly, I found them to be little trouble to remove before removing the mounting bolts, and my Mitchell's and Haynes books suggest removing them first to acoid damaging them.
Quick tip: working under the car in constricted spaces, keep track of nuts and bolts by attaching a STRONG magnet to the oil pan. Simply drop the nuts, bolts, sockets (and even extensions!) UP *heh* onto the magnet for handy retrieval later.
Still, if you are able to rent bay space and use a lift, the removal/installation would be much easier. Still constricted (and the Stanley tool or its equivalent still HIGHLY recommended!), but standing to work would make this a much, much easier task.
Where is the backup light switch in a 1996 Saturn sl2?
The Chilton for the 1999 Saturn lists it on top of the Transaxle. Since this book also covers repair for the older SC1 models, it should be in the same place.
How do you remove the radiator from a Saturn SC2?

Total time start to finish is less than 3 hours.
Where is the radio fuse located in the fuse box of a 1992 Saturn SL 2?
Hey just had the same problem in my 92 SC2. The radio fuse box is to the left of where the passengers feet would be. The thing is on mine (not sure if its the same with them all) the fuse was labeled "chime" instead of the actual radio fuse. Might want to get a fuse tester and check them all.
Actually there is a Radio fuse, in the inside fuse box, however as mentioned above, usuallky it is the "chime" fuse which will blow.
Where is the turn signals' relay located on the 94 Saturn SL2?
In the fuse pannel. You will have two of them in there and one is for your emergancy flashers the other is for your turn signals.
Why would my car stall and won't start?
check for fuel pressure, should be around 50 psi. try getting someone to bang on the bottom of the gas tank while cranking, might get it going to determine if its the pump
How do you replace the EGR on a 2000 Maxima?
# The EGR valve is bolted to the rear cylinder head,at the transaxle end # Remove the air intake duct from the throttle body and air filter housing # Detach the vacuum line from the EGR valve.Disconnect the EGR pipe nut # Remove the EGR valve mounting fasteners # Remove the EGR valve and gasket from the manifold.Discard the gasket
Which wires go where on a 99 Saturn starter?
Depending on the vehichle, you may only have one wire going to the starter, which would be the positive wire from the battery. In addition to this wire, many vehicles have a wire or pair of wires going to the solenoid housing on the starter. The positive wire is a very thick, heavy wire, which usually will have a loop terminal at the end, which fits over a post on the starter, which has a nut that threads down to secure the positive wire.
Often wire lengths will give you a hint as to where they should be connected, and wires frequently are bent to fit the connections. Be careful if you are guessing on where the solenoid wires connect, because a mistake could fry the solenoid.
In AdditionMany vehicles may have an additional, fairly heavy wire that runs to the same post as the battery. This wire makes its way to the alternator and is the location of the charging system fuseable link.Grinding noise when you turn a corners?
Could either be a bad starter drive or a bad tooth on the ring gear/flywheel Try turning the engine manually (large socket on crankshaft) and see if it starts without grinding. If so, probably a bad tooth. If no change probably a bad starter drive
How do you remove the ignition lock cylinder from a 1994 Saturn sc2?
If it is like the '97 SC2, which it likely is:
Remove the plastic cover from around the steering column.
Turn the old ignition cylinder to ACC (I know what you are about to say... If you can turn the cylinder, why replace it. Unfortunately I can't answer that. I had to drill out the old lock to replace the one on my saturn. Please consult a locksmith before doing so. You don't want to drill into the wrong parts.)
With the old cylinder turned to ACC, there is a small button on the side (probably upper right towards the air vents) Push this button in and the old cylinder should pull out. Installation is reverse of removal (without the drilling...)
