Sounds weird, but clean your battery cable connections, and maybe even have your battery tested to CYA.

SOURCE: Car wont start.

I work at a car lot and have experienced alot of numerous electrical problems with this group of Chrysler's.(Intepid, 300m, LHS, Concorde) I hate to say but usually a BCM has fixed my problems. Regarding the alarm i would look into the switch on the back side of the lock cylinder it was a very common problem in the mid 90's era Chryslers, but all in all sounds almost like a BCM. (Body Contol Module) New they are salty but call the dealer and give them the last eight of the vin and tell them you need the ID number for the bcm they should give it to you then browse your local junk yards. GOOD LUCK!

SOURCE: 2002 Saturn SC1 - Starts fine and runs well until

Most Likely Coolant temp sensor & connector.Located in cyclinder head under upper radiatior hose.Two wires to connector yellow & black.Replacement sensor is brass (from saturn) Original is ceramic & cracks cause poor performance,stalling,idle issues.Also check plugs & wires for carbon tracking.Replace plugs & wires as a set all at once.Hope this helps

1999 saturn sc wont start

I owned a 95 SC1 manual many years ago. It acted like that for me, and stalled on a regular basis. Turned out the EGR valve was bad. I replaced it and all those problems went away. I'm not sure how to test it, but two bolts and you can pull the valve and make sure it's not crudded up. Don't use solvents or you can damage the diaphragm in there, just use a toothbrush and some rags. You should also use a new gasket when you reinstall it, although as a test you can reuse the old one if it's not damaged. While you do that check for obvious intake and vacuum leaks. There may even be a vacuum line going to the EGR valve. Hope that helps.

1999 Saturn SL-2 will start but shuts off! Has a brand new battery in it too. Any ideas on what the trouble might be?

Sometimes the security-anti theft systems go bad in these cars. Actually in ALOT of GM cars. This will cause the car to either "not start" (as in the starter wont even turn over) or start for 1-5 seconds and shut off. You might also notice a light somewhere on the dash that says security when this happens. If this sounds like your problem, check out this link for info and some DO IT YOURSELF solutions. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

My wipers have a mind of their own, they come on whether I turn them on or not. And when I do use them they wont turn off. Any idea of what would cause this on a 97 Saturn SC1? And how I can fix it?

Common Saturn problem, generally the return to rest circuit in the motor is bad, so they work even when the switch is OFF. You need to get a new wiper motor, parts store about $100, $450 from a GFM dealer. You may have to pull the top off the dash and go in under to get the motor swapped. get a repair manual on eBay or do some searches on youtube, there will be videos of folks pulling Saturn wiper motors.

it may be the lights switch, but first check for a fuse in the engine compartment fuse box marked "Park". It is not the safety interlock, as that only affects the start circuit. If you have more questions, please let me know.
