Done cars have a kill switch if they are low on oil. Check your oil. If the oil is good, it may be the ignition switch.

System security

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.

2002 Saturn SL2 A/C Not working.

I would test the A/C compressor clutch coil first , easiest to do . If the electromagnet clutch coil is bad ,the compressor won't engage . Pull the A/C compressor clutch relay an jump pin's 30 & 87 , where the relay plug's into the fuse box . If pin 30 has B+ voltage ,pin 87 sends that B+ voltage to energize the clutch coil . These clutch coil's can go bad . You could also check the cooling fan this way , pull the cooling fan relay an take a piece of wire an jump pin's 30 & 87 .If fan is good it will run . Do you know how relay's work ?
VEHICLE RELAYS Operation Diagnosis

The PCM controls both relay's by supplying a ground to energize the relay .
Is the check engine light on ?
Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? How to use one along with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test automotive electrical circuits ? Not guessing ?

How do you change the transmission filter in a

saturns use a spin on transmission filter,similar to the motor oil filter.after-market filters like FRAM or PUROLATER are as good or better than dealer parts and likely less expensive.transmission fluid is drained from the plug in the pan,again,like the motor oil.

Wipers only work on high setting. They don't do anything in low or intermittent. Is it the switch or the relay? If its the relay, where is the relay located? Thanks.

Relay located under hood, plastic box normally labelled relay/fuse center, but not always labeled.

Thermostat, put a new one in and have heat, go 15 miles up the road and it cools off. shut car off for 10 min. and it is hot again but windows are fogging up..

Does the engine reach normal operating temp? Do you live in an extremely cold region? Are the heater hoses hot? Also, there could be a problem with temp door, under the dash.
