Saturn is a GM product, take it to any Chevy dealer and they should be able to help you. Although, if the previous owner left the car manual in the glove box then the factory unlock code should be there, unless they previous owner changed the code then the dealer will have to reset it.
If you have a visible chip on the shaft of the key you probably need to change the lock cylinder. If there is no visible chip in the shaft of the key but you have a large plastic head on your key, you probably need a new lock cylinder halo ring.
my 99SW did not have coded keys, and it had remote door locks which seem to go along with coded keys. i assume a call into a GM dealer which services Saturns could answer this question if you gave them the VIN. do a google search for saturn service in your area. there will be some hapless GM dealer stuck with doing the maintenance on Saturns and they should have access to a data base which will provide that info.
Do you happen to have the radio code? Sometimes people will put this with their owners manual. If not maybe you can track down the previous owner and see if they have it or would be willing to get it for you if they are the original owners.
On my 91,94,99, and 01 Saturns a fuse legend was on the back of the panel which you had to pull to get to the fuses. there was also one in the owner's manual.
You will need to go to the Saturn Dealer to obtain the code, the Radio Code Is VIN# specific. Check your Owner's Manual, sometimes it is printed inside of there, or the previous owner may have written it down.
Well, it is easy to test the struts. 1st look for oil deposits around the strut tower. 2nd push on the vehicle's bumper or hood, down with your weight. See how many times the vehicle bounces. It shouldn't bounce more than 1 1/2 times anything more than that might need replaced. As for the gear box...I think you got that right...needs replaced.
