Using the flat or palm of your hand SMACK the door panels right below the switches on the door...If that doesn't work using the little red hose on a WD40 can spray around all the buttons on your door - use ALOT...GM's are notorious for "carbon tracking" of door switches. sometime smacking the door allows these deposits to break loose, allowing the window to work again.
Good Luck

I would check your MAF and the IAC.  Try cleaning your Mass Air Flow sensor which is in the tube that takes air from the air filter to the throttle body (you will see that it is plugged in).  Clean it with some cleaner that says it's safe for a MAF.  If it's not that and what I am leaning towards would be your IAC valve.  The idle air control valve is located on your throttle body and is normally attached with two screws.  I would start with the MAF just because it's cheaper but I'm leaning towards the IAC.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa!

A/C Condensor?? Located In front of Radiator.

check coolant level in radiator with engine and cold,refill check for leaks

I have changed a head gasket on a saturn 1.9 L engine, no special tools are required. Take your time and be patient. do not over tighten the headbolts and do not forget to torque them to the correct specs. after about a week of driving check everything you tightened to uinsure they remained tight. all should be well when the project is complete. Oh one more thing. a mechanic dropped a socket into a friends engine and blew the motor. be very careful that all of your tools are acounted for before starting the engine

Ck the ground wire for this light.

i would verify the ac clutch is still grabbing first as that is a lot cheaper.

It has to have one or your car wouldn't run at all.It should be on the drivers side on the side of the head where the camshaft is
that senor contols the spark

sound like you have stuck injector, wide open,put a fuel pressure gage on it see if it drops when you shut key off

Check the trans fluid level,have scanned for trouble codes.The valve bodies on those transmissions are prone to wearing out.

I assume you mean the DOHC off of an sc2.......and yes it is but at the same time you will have to get a 97 DOHC SC2 engine computer. Best bet is a used parts dealer and or junkyard. However if you do not mean an entire engine swap and just want specific parts then no.

when was the clutch last change ? my saturn is a 1998 with over 300k and never had this happen but I have changed my clutch at 275k

Tensioner, alternator, power steering pump, water pump. All of these can cause this. Using either a mechanics stethoscope or a long screw drive (place you screwdriver near not on the pulley if each decice. Then place you ear to the handle..the screwdriver will transmit any sounds to your ear. Always be careful of clothing, jewelery hair etc so I'd doesn't get caught in the belts or pulleys) locate what is making the noise and replace.

I would go with not bled correctly

The booster should hold up with a hard pedal until
you start the engine, then vacuum causes it to move
down when pressing on the brake

CPS is bad

#2 red 10 amps and it is located in the car just a head of the shifter
