Power seat quit working on 2009 saturn vue hybrid. what should I check first?
2007 Saturn Vue:
I found a nicked wire under the hood, just past the fuse block (cabin side).
Despite not having any short, the wire corroded within its insulation. You "might" see some "green oxide powder" on the wire bundle and/or fuse block.
I was able to unclip the fuse block, disconnect the "positive lead", and pry it up enough to see an individual wire clip for the power seat. Push in the locking clip and pull the connector down. (disconnect the battery first).
Since the wire turned to powder within its insulation, it still read 12V, but had high resistance. Any nick in the insulation, and exposure to moisture would cause a similar issue. Other folks had reported similar problems within the cabin, on the outside wall, just left of the break peddle. You may wish to remove that panel (it extends under the car door), and look for corrosion there.
I have a 2008 Saturn outlook with 2w drive. I recently drove in wet weather a my Stabil Trak and traction control indicators
When the Stabilitrak and Traction Control indicators come on and stay illuminated in your 2008 Saturn Outlook, it typically indicates a problem with the vehicle's stability control system. This system helps maintain control and stability during adverse driving conditions, such as wet or slippery roads. There are several potential causes for these warning lights, and it's essential to address the issue promptly to ensure your vehicle's safety and performance. Here are some common reasons for the warning lights to stay on:
- Wheel Speed Sensor Issues: The Stabilitrak and Traction Control systems rely on information from wheel speed sensors to determine if a wheel is slipping or losing traction. If one of these sensors is malfunctioning or dirty, it can trigger the warning lights.
- Faulty ABS Module: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module is closely related to the stability control system. If there is a problem with the ABS module, it can affect the functionality of Stabilitrak and Traction Control.
- Damaged Wiring: Damage to the wiring that connects the wheel speed sensors to the control module can disrupt the communication and trigger the warning lights.
- Malfunctioning Control Module: The control module responsible for the stability control system can develop faults or errors over time.
- Brake System Issues: Problems with the vehicle's braking system, including worn brake pads, can sometimes lead to issues with the Stabilitrak system.
- Faulty Steering Angle Sensor: The steering angle sensor is part of the stability control system. A malfunction in this sensor can lead to warning lights.
- Low Fluid Levels: Low brake fluid levels can trigger the warning lights, as the stability control system may interpret it as a potential issue with the braking system.
To diagnose and address the problem, you should take your Saturn Outlook to a qualified mechanic or a dealership. They can perform a diagnostic scan using specialized equipment to pinpoint the exact issue that is causing the warning lights to stay on. Once the problem is identified, they can recommend the necessary repairs or replacements.
It's important not to ignore these warning lights, as the stability control system is designed to enhance vehicle safety and performance, particularly in adverse driving conditions. Addressing the issue promptly will help ensure the continued safe operation of your vehicle.
