I have a 2008 Saturn Vue, all dashboard lights work, seatbelt alarm they all work except the fuel gauge doesn't work and the engine will not turn over. It isn't the battery and has new starter.

If it is a new starter and it is not turning over the engine it has to be because it is not receiving power. Check battery connections and start solenoid and any fuses/relays in the mix.

My 03 Saturn VUE water temp overheat light never turns off.

Possible that the ECT (engine coolant temperature sensor) is faulty, or the wiring to it has been compromised. Try looking the wiring over. If nothing jumps out at you, replace the sensor. Keep in mind, it's the season for critters to seek warmth from engine heat.

FLUTTERING TEMP GAUGE I8N 2003 SATURN VUE

Well son, there are MANY reasons that might cause "fluttering" in your gauge. Mine started doing that, then I started getting a warning LIGHT for overheating. My solution for that was a fault in my fan. There are 2 speeds on my VUE'S electric fan. The one that required attention was speed/high (the speed/low was working). If your getting an intermittent short, watch both the temperature and fuel gauges to make sure it's not a real (both will do the "fluttering at the same time if it's faulty short) overheating problem. If you have an OCD-2 reader, plug it in under the driver's dashboard and go to function "live" read the engine temperature. If that's normal it will be between 120F-200F.
Faults may be relays in the under-hood fuse panel (there either good or bad, you can't see anything like other fuses) and there are the 30 amp or 10 amp fuses inside the same fuse block for that electric fan.. I've found that if I open the hood and start your car, after it warms up, there are tree things that could happen.
1: the low fan starts up, then start your A/C, the high fan speed comes on (normal, check your temp gauge).
2: After you warm it up, the low speed fan starts up, but with the A/C on, the high speed fan isn't coming on (bad high speed fuse or relay).
3: after warm up, the low speed fan doesn't come on, but starting the A/C the low speed fan comes on (bad sensor I think).

I've had a ghost in my VUE since I bought it, gone through 3 computers, CVT sensors, key won't turn without destroying the key. One time, I used the horn to get some deer off the road and the damned thing wouldn't shut off. While I was under the hood trying to get it to turn off, TWO cops stopped, they shined their flashlights on the fuse block and one on the diagram for me to pull the right fuse. I took it out, plugged it back in and it worked again! The shop didn't find a thing wrong with it, but the thing works still.s

03 saturn view cranks but wont start

first of all, check the fuel pump relay to see if it is going bad. if it is ok! also try this, Have a person turn key to on,, and put your hand on bottom of fuel tank. if the pump is turning on, you will feel a vibration in tank. you may have to do this a few times. the pump only turns on for a few seconds to pressurize system, or to get fuel to the engine. just keep turning key on and off to recycle fuel pump. Good-Day! Hope this helps! relay for pump may be bad.< Check this first.

I am working on a 2003 Saturn Vue. The fuel pump relay trips after the car has been running for awhile. i replaced both fuel pumps, fuel filter, and the fuel pump relay. The problem remains. Any...

How is it "tripping" ?
The pump gets a signal from the ECM as long as the ECM knows the engine is running.
Is the check engine light on ?

'03' Vue has trouble starting

Sounds like the fuel pump may be going out. By the way the power steering is electric in Saturn, so it does not require the engine to be running.
