There is a clicking noise whenever I turn my steering wheel and I was wondering what it was and if I can fix it myself. It's a 2004 Saturn Ion?

SOURCE: steering wheel moves back and forth when i brake 2004 ion

Sounds like your rotors are warped. First off, have the front wheels been off the car at any time recently? If so, someone may have reinstalled them and not torqued the lugs properly. Too much torque (or different torque on different lug nuts) can artifically warp the rotors. Also, hot rotors getting wet can warp (as if you slammed the brakes on or were braking severely on the way to the car wash, where you sprayed them down). Or, they could be just worn out. Chances are though that you'll need new rotors. Remember that when you change rotors, no matter how new the pads on your car may be, you need to put new brake pads on with them.

SOURCE: My 2003 Saturn Ion has a squeaky steering problem

I would get to a shop and have the ball joints, tie rod ends, and strut bearings checked. Any and all of them may cause that problem on a car this old. This is one of the few problem areas I would let a Saturn dealer inspect the car, as they may well have seen hundreds just like it. Once they tell you what is wrong, get out of there and get the work done somewhere else. Do not be shy about buying your own parts and paying a shop to put them in. Pick a shop which does alignments as the car will need that when the parts have been replaced.

you need to find a mechanic and ask him to take a look at your rear wheel bearings, clicking is a sign one is failing, do both sides before either fails completely. and ask him to take a look at your serpentine belt tensioner, sounds like you may have an issue there also.

How do I turn the cruise control on in a 2004 ion?

Use the cruise control on/off switch and set it to ON. Then momentarily hit the set/coast switch and that should do it. I believe everything is located on the steering wheel.

The key don't turn on and the steering wheel doesn't a try in many ways and not work I think the pins are stuck than I need fix or replace it, but I do not how take cylinder off

The steering wheel/ignition may be "locked". Try turning the steering wheel as far as possible in one direction and then try turning the ignition (key). I've had to try this a few times myself.

Saturnpowersteering

I have a 2006 Saturn ION as well and the PWR STR light came on and the power steering went out. When i turn off the car and turn back on it's fine for a while but goes out again in a day or so. I called Saturn and they said it is the power steering which is electric and to fix it i would have to replace the whole steering column! If it is not the fuses which i haven't checked yet then it will cost me $850.00 to replace. that's not counting whatever else they find and charge me for. I was looking under 2004 Saturn Ion and they have a lot of the same issues. I don't know where to look for the fuses at though I'm thinking under the steering wheel if anyone knows please let me know.

Thanks

Mom!
