The bulbs for your instrument cluster are inserted into small sockets that push in and turn to lock. Over time the contacts get dirty and loose causing them to either work intermittently or not at all. A dirty or worn dimmer switch can cause this as well, but it would affect all bulbs in the circuit not just some of them. Remove the instrument cluster and gently clean the circuit board contacts for the bulbs with an eraser. Clean the contacts on the sockets and bend the contacts upward somewhat to give them some tension when installed.

99 saturn sl1 replaced new starter car wont start no crank battery is good new spark plugs aand boots. Car still no start no crank has dash lights and dings

You still have a problem with your starter. Sounds like you missed the wires going to the solenoid which engages the bendix.
Recheck the wiring.
It could also be a bad starter from the parts store. Won't be the first time.

2000 saturn sl1 dash and tail lights out i have no onwers manual so i don't know what fuse it is can someone tell me what fuse to change

There's another fuse location (on my 99 SL1 anyway) under the right front panel of the center console in the passenger compartment. Check fuses with a test light (cheap and easy to use).

I have a 2002 Saturn SL-series and about a week ago it just would'nt turn over. Everything else was working lights , dash lights and the such. tried to start it many times and then it started. It

Could be starter, battery, battery cables, security key system module going bad, etc.
Check easiest things first. Battery condition and age, condition of cables, and connections at starter.

The turn signals and hazzard lights wont work on my 99 saturn car

Try replacing the signal & hazard flashers. Some vehicles only use 1 flasher for both. The flashers are usually located under the dash by the steering column. They look the picture below ..
