thats how key entry works as to fob -dead battery--failure

Me too. I found the keychain I had was quite heavy and heard that could be a problem. Also when I turn the key now I lift the key upwards and have had no trouble lately. Hope that works for you too.

Hello: You could have a intermittent ignition lock cylinder. I would get the codes read Auto Zone, Advance Auto or O'Rielly can do that and they may not charge you.

A short some where try the grounds at the head light bulbs

curious to know if you got this solved. Guessing downstream o2 sensor. did your vue idle high? act like it was getting too much gas? Let me know please.

The procedure you used is for the 2006 > Vue, and will not work on your 2003. For the 2002-2005 Saturn Vue V4 or V6 - Under the hood you will see a black fuse box behind the battery. Open it up and you will see a red button, it is small and looks like a fuse but on the top it will say Oil-Res. Turn on the ignition & press and hold that button for about 10 seconds. You may want to have a friend sit in the driver's seat and watch for the indicator to start flashing, which indicates you've activated the reset. Turn off the ignition and that will reset the Oil light.

relay may be sticking. may call your dealer and see if there are any service bulletins pertaining to this problem

The keys on this vehicle have a problem with wearing down to the point where it's a pain to get them to work in the ignition cylinder. Examine your keys for wear and that may have been your problem since day one.
I have a 2004 Vue and I have the only key I got with it (used car) worn down to the point where it will no longer work in the back door and is a pain to use in the ignition cylinder. It also falls right out of the ignition cylinder when the car is running. I have a copy of the key that was made when I got the car which works just fine and doesn't fall out, and looking at the two side by side, you can see that Saturn's key has worn down substantially since I got it two years ago.

make sure to check your fuses and ground wires first. when you are set on which part is bad do a quick check of everything else before you jump into it.
