There is a relay in the power block under the hood. Try to switch it out with the one for the horn. This is a easy test to see if your relay is bad. Both the relays are the same, so you will not short out anything.
Car is reading code P0132
code p0132 refers to heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 bank 1--high voltage==causes --wiring short to positive--HO2S ECM or it also refers to oxygen sensor 1bank 1high voltage==causes --wiring short to positive O2S--ECM I would be replacing both the oxygen sensors
How to install trunk lid torsion bars
I have a 2006 Saturn Ion. There are two torque bars in the trunk. One has the insulation on it and the other comes without insulation. Using a bungee cord, I hooked one end above my license plate in a gap and the other end I just stretched until it reached my back door and I shut the door on it. That is how I held the trunk up. Next, I took the rod without the insulation and put the rounded loop part of the bar to the right of the trunk. I rested the other end of the bar that has the squared loop in the middle slit toward the left side of the trunk. I then used one hand to lower the trunk a little to get the right end in place easier. There is the very end of the bar on the right side of the trunk that goes in the slit on the roof of the trunk, the rounded loop that goes under that hook on the bar of the trunk, and just to the left of that loop where the rounded part becomes straight again that goes on the upper most slit just under the roof of the trunk. After all that is in place, go to the left side of the trunk near the three slits and push up as hard as you can to get the left part of the bar to rest on the lower slit and then you\'re snapped in. Repeat for the piece with the insulation on it but reverse what I said about right and left side. You have to install the pieces in that particular order or it won\'t work out. You might say Jesus Christ a few times too but have patience. It is worth it.
Anti theft system
pull the fuse, and reinsert, if that doesn't work, take the neg. battery cable off to reset com. but that will also erase any codes you may need for a machanic in the future. good luck
My 2003 saturn ion will turn over but willnot
You may have two issues, one with starting and
running while the other may be ignition lock cylinder related. You may
be able to try using the spare key if you have one otherwise its
recommended to have one made by Saturn and try it before determining
that its a worn out lock cylinder. Then Saturn may be the best choice to
at least configure a new lock cylinder with the original keys to match.
The lack of engine firing up may be a simple cps failure.
The engine turning over but never firing up may be related to the crank
position sensor (CPS) as long as you don't see the security light
flashing in the speedometer or tach. The security light flashing would
mean the factory anti-theft deterrent system is preventing engine
running by disablng the fuel pump. No fuel pump = no engine run.
Determining a faulty cps is by way of observation - the spark from the
ignition system is observed. Remove the spark plug wires, noting the
firing order carefully, from the coils and have someone crank the engine
over so you can watch for expected sparks across the coil towers. A
lack of sparks usually means a failed cps as the only other failure
would be the ignition module that the two ignition coils mount onto. The
cps is mounted behind and above the starter with one 10mm bolt. You can
buy it from any auto store stocking it.
