Turn car on, starts up, then dies within 2 seconds. have to take key out and re-insert and try again. NO security light comes on, i tried the pass-lock relearn. oil light, battery light, abs light, both check engine and service dash light comes on. gas gauge stuck wont move from zero or whatever. its happened before, twice. first time it sat for a week, then one day just started again, year later, happened again, sat for 9 months, brought to dealership, they said ' just charge the battery' worked fine till now ( a year later). BRAND spankin new 850cca battery.
(-other problems could be associated : dash light goes off and on, usually off, lights dim when using power windows, keyless entry does not work)

    that wasnt the problem , tried the spare key didnt work. also the change oil light comes on the dash as well, and inside the power locks wont work either, from the button on the door.

Reset change oil light on a 2001 Saturn l300

I don't know the year of the vehicle so I'll give you 2 possible ways to reset it.

2004-2005

Turn the ignition to run (one position before starting engine).
Immediately after Step 1 press and release the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. If the Change Engine Oil light is flashing, the system is reset. The light will flash for up to 30 seconds or until the ignition is turned off. If the light comes on again and stays on for 30 seconds at the next engine start, it did not reset. You will need to reset the system again.
Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset.





Turn the key to run, but don't start the car. Open up the underhood fuse box (move the coolant line out of the clips for easier access). In the fuse box is a button labeled "OIL-R". Hold it down for five seconds. The "change oil soon" light should flash for about 30 seconds or so. That means it's reset.
