Start my car before the bell goes off,go back in to clock out,get in
my Ion,stalled the mess. center reads: POWER STR.Did the power
steering make my Ion stall?.It drove home normal.

I just bought a 2002 SL1, 49785 miles on it, from my local Saturn dealer.
It seems to be running well (I'm not a mechanic at all).  It's a
4-cylinder, so it doesn't have that "punch" you like when merging onto a
freeway, but I can deal with that.  It's reliability I'm after.  Anyway ...

Can someone please tell me what is the light next to the
coolent/temperature light. I bought a Saturn SL1 97 sometime back, but
the previous owner did not provide me with the user manual.
These two lights have started blinking infrequently. Usually it is when

So this morning, my wipers decided to act up, intermittent setting 3 and 2
work fine, low speed wipes once, mist wipes once, high speed works fine,
washer doesn't work at all.
Where should a begin looking??

We're looking for a small (about 1.5 in x .5 in) yellow plastic
connector that is part of the clock spring.
We've heard it called : yellow 2-way connector/yellow connector/SIR
connector but we think the proper name is: Inflator Module Connector

My '94 SL2 is no more.
After 167,000 mostly trouble-free miles (and no end in sight), a fellow
decided to see how his truck would look in my trunk.
Lots o' damage.

I imagine this will be a no brainer for many, but I wanted to throw it out
there.
Could somebody please list probable causes for squeaking in my rear
brakes?  Here's the situation:  Only 40k miles, and the brakes only squeak

The volume adjust knob is loose.  Need to take out the radio to fix it,
don't have the shop manuals, and wonder if anyone can outline how to
get it out...
thanks

I own a 2000 SL1, and a friend of mine owns a 1998.. my sister ownes a
1995 Saturn... so far we are all extremely pleased with them.   My
question is, how often have you had your Saturn break down on you?  What
have you do to it (maintance wise), etc?

I just bought a 2004 VUE.  Before I order Saturn's roof rack crossbars,
I was wondering if Yakima or Thule attachments are compatible.  I have
a Yakima kayak rack and a Thule cargo box.
I already have some Yakima Q-Towers from the car I traded in.  I don't

Is this something I should be concerned about, and does anyone know what
it might be?
I have a 2000 SL1 with 30,000 miles on it.
In cold weather when I go to shift from 1st to 2nd gear I feel as though

(we don't have a Saturn dealer in town, so I picked one up from
Autozone -- about $9, brass construction) in my '98 SL2 this morning.
I was warned not to overtighten it, so I tried not to crank it down too

Looking at buying a replacement engine at 6thplanetusedparts.com for a '96
SL2 with coolant in the oil....siezed engine.
Prices and warranty seem reasonable.  The folks there seem great to work
with.

    I recently was looking at a Saturn SC2 and the dealer told me that in
his opinion the 1.9 DOHC is more reliable.  Is that true?  I know in the
history of GM, most of their DOHC engines are crap so I was wondering if
he was just telling me that to get me to buy the car.  For ...

Just curious to see how far any of you have gone before the change oil light
has come on.  I'm at 5,800 miles now...
