I'm not sure if this will work with your vehicle, but you can try it. Disconnect the battery negative cable. Put the ignition key in the ignition and turn the key to the on position. Then reconnect the battery cable. Hopefully this will work for you....

Disconnect the negative and positive battery cables from the terminals on the battery. Take that battery out. Now then buy another battery for you make and model. Put the positive and negative battery cables on the battery terminals of the new battery. MAKING SURE, you have them on the RIGHT CABLES ON THE RIGHT TERMINALS. POSITIVE --- (RED) as the NEGATIVE CABLE is ----(BLACK). If you get them mixed up and try to start the car or something. You will blow a ton of fuses. and no telling what else! Its not hard as long as you can read the (-) << NEGATIVE (BLACK) WIRE and (+) << POSITIVE --(RED) WIRE on the battery.

Hello,
Purchase the replacement light you need from an auto parts store. Give them the year and particular Saturn S Series model number to acquire the right part. Also indicate whether you need the high or low beam light bulb, as some S Series models require separate bulbs.

Turn off the engine. Pop the hood and secure it open. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery by grasping the cable and pulling it straight off of the positive and negative battery terminals.

Position yourself in front of the headlight you wish to repair. Look behind the headlight assembly to find the wiring harness for the headlight assembly. Lift the locking tab, grab the wiring harness and pull the wiring directly away from the assembly.

Grab the old headlight bulb, twist it counterclockwise and pull it out of the headlight assembly. Replace it with a new bulb and secure it by turning it clockwise.

Reconnect the wiring harness to the headlight assembly and reconnect the battery cables. Test the lights to see if they work properly.

Thanks

if your running a new positive cable, then you have to run from starter to battery. you can change ends but you can not splice into it.

It's easy, jack up the car put jack stands under it, remove positive battery cable, on the back of the motor closes to the fire wall is the starter ( get under the car, round cylinder), remove the two bolts and drop down to disconnect positive wire and remove exciter wire, re-install in reverse

disconnect the positive cable on battery then turn key on step on the brake peddle for 45 seconds then turn key off put positive cable back on start car and it should be off

Before you attempt to disconnect the battery make sure you have eye protection on. To disconnect the battery there should be a rubber cover over the positive (red) connector on the battery. LEAVE IT THERE FOR NOW. Using a 5/16" wrench (or a 8mm wrench) disconnect the negative (- or black) cable from the battery then pull back the rubber boot on the positive (+ or red) cable and remove the bolt holding on that cable. When reconnecting the battery connect the positive cable first then the negative cable.

change the ignition switch.Or cross the wires at the switch to see if it starts there.with the key in of course

Never allow Saturn touch a Saturn.
During the oil change, the Saturn dealer loosened the center positive electrical battery cable at the main fuse box, drivers side, under hood.
The loose positive cable results in an electrical surge that wipes out the cps.
The new cps is only avaqilable from Saturn.
When the new cps is delivered, one electrical pen will be bend down and must be straightened prior to insertion of male and female electrical connector to the cps. Otherwise the new cps will fail.
Be certain to tighten the center positive post of three that secure the main fuse box in place. The center post must be tightened to ensure the new cps is not destroyed by subsequent electrical surges which result when Saturn Dealer loosens the center fuse box post.
