I hit another car and there is some damage but my raditor didnt even get smashed so do you think it worth fixing and howkeisha - 2000 Saturn LS2 - Body & Interior - 5/18/2011much do you think it will cost-
5/18/2011 DrkShdw983I can't see the car so I can't give you an accurate estimate. If your radiator wasn't hit at all than you might just need a new front bumper and possibly headlights. The damage could be more extensive though. You might needs suspension parts and/or a new subframe. The decision of worth is up to you.. if it was a good car before and there's not a lot of damage than it may be worth it... otherwise use it as an excuse to get a new car

5/6/2011 DrkShdw983The springs that cause the fuel door to open break frequently... I would find a decent spring in a junk yard or just get one from a saturn dealer. Then to open the door I would tape the end of a screw driver (to avoid scratches) and gently pry it open while someone else holds the switch up on the inside.
5/6/2011 Peggywhere is the switch. We bought the car used and cant seem to find the switch.

How do I unplug the air conditioner condensation drain to keep the water outside the passenger compartment?Stump - 2004 Saturn L300-2 - Body & Interior - 5/5/2011-
5/5/2011 Dave in PaI used a wire to unplug it , only to have it back up again. I eventually cut the "duck bill" end off, leaving a stub that works fine. I am sure the design was to keep dirt and bugs out, but that was what kept plugging up all the time.

2007 Saturn Aura XR issue. Recently I have noticed that the lighted needles in the instrument cluster do not light up.Saluki1998 - 2007 Saturn Aura - Body & Interior - 5/1/201155500 Miles, no work done for this problem yet. It does not mater if it is day or night, if the lights are on manual or auto, or if the dimmer for the cluster is all the way up or down. All of the other instrument cluster lights and functions are working properly. ...-
5/1/2011 TechSamTake the cluster out and change all the light bulbs.
5/1/2011 Saluki1998I do not think it is as simple as that. From what I understand the IPC is a vacuum fluorescent display, so there are no replaceable "bulbs". I do not want to go tearing into a vehicle, until I know what I am going to find. I am hoping this is something I can do myself without taking to a dealer. This is why I posed the original question.

Can't get right rear door openAnthony - 2001 Saturn SL1 - Body & Interior - 3/27/2011The door is stuck. The lock unlocks but still the door doesn't open. It has manual locks. How do i get it open?-
3/27/2011 charles81Make sure you try and open it from the inside. these cars have child safety locks, and are easy to turn on.if this does not work, removal of the door handle, will be the solution. it is possible that the latch rod has released from the catch hook mechanism. unfortunatly, all these retainers holding the rods are plastic, this plastic may be your problem.

How much approximatly to install a new sunroofangie kizer - 2001 Saturn SL1 - Body & Interior - 3/22/2011-
3/22/2011 Team AssociatedElectronic sunroof installation begins at $1000 and can range up to $2000. It is recommended you have this job done at the dealership to take advantage of the warranty that comes with this type of installation of a sunroof.
A manual sunroof is less complicated to install and the least expensive to purchase, these manual sunroofs costs are lower than their electronic counterparts, yet they are still several hundred dollars to purchase.

3/21/2011 Team AssociatedThere are little rods that connect the handles to the lock mechanism. It's possible (but unlikely) that those rods are bent. Pop the door skin off and check. Another possibility is that the striker has loosened and moved (much more likely) or that the lock mechanism itself is gummed up with dirt/debris and not fully disengaging (happens all the time).
3/22/2011 SamHow do you pop door skin?
