I'm just talking about seeing if the starter will crank the engine. Battery has a full charge, battery connections all good? Engine and chassis grounds all good? Unplug the starter relay in diagram, use jumper wire on switch side of relay, terminal 30 and 87, the starter motor should crank the engine, no need to use key. However if you have the key in the on position, just where the dash lites come on, the vehicle may start? If you try that make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set. If it will crank with jumper but not w/o, have to check control side of relay for voltage and ground. The voltage comes from computer, the ground is chassis ground.
In the diagram, you can see the starter fuse.

Ok I know that Coolant Temp Sensors are very very Common to Saturns, Only buy the Parts at saturn they are Calibrated Parts. Aftermarket do not work well.
You could have a work starter bendix Drive or a worn Flywheel that is causing the crackling sound you hear, To be totally honest I need to hear the sound to tell you for sure. If this information is good please Give me a Fixya! Rating and if there is anything more I can do for you please contact me .

Turn the key to "on" and let the light flash. It should stop flashing after about ten to twenty minutes. Once the light is on steady, turn it off, then start the car. I usually put another battery on jumper cables attached to the cars battery so it does not run down and die before the system re-arms.

You have to have the key coded with the ignition switch at a lock smith,or the dealer.

I had the same problem, after having the car towed to four Seasons, it was discovered that the electrical portion of the ignition switch was defective. Works like a charm. Part number 61 32 8 356 026 Hope this will help.
