My 1997 SC1 Saturn was not starting or turning over at all. I replaced the battery and it was fine. It's been about three weeks and now it won't start or turn over again. What do you think the problem is?
Well the problem you have is called a feed back ?
What it is the battery you fitted as the same as the one you took out nodoubt was also good but the electrics have a leak is some where like the Alternator or lights ie roof /dash etc so what you need to do is charge the battery up to 12Volts and take off the Black earth wire from the battery,now just touch it back on (very lightly) and you will see a small spark Thats you leak so start of with removing the Red wire to the Alternator (or the feed lead or the thick lead )going to Alt and put it on a bit of rag and not onto any thing metal and try the short test again ,if still there then put back the Alt lead and then test the inside lights and so on till you donot have a spark at all.
OR get a globe solder 2 wires to it 1on to casing,1 on to centre pole and fit 1end to battery lead and the other to the battery post and when the light goes out YOU have found your leak..EASY isent it
Have a goodday
Let me know how you get on IM always here. RON
Very probably a bad charging system. You might need a new altenator.
