Does the fan work? and if so just blow cold air. This could mean the linkage that leads to the heatercore is broke/ disconected. try to manually open the valve ( to allow the heated coolant ) to flow through the core. It is probably along the firewall (back wall under hood behind engine) should be black water hose(s) going into the firewall valve is most likely there

what year it is

Check fuel pump relay and fuel filters

you may want to possibly look into replacing the coolant temp sensor.the sensor is located on the drivers side of the engine just below the air filter tube going to the throttle body-going into the engine block. remove the sensor and check to see if it corroded or even cracked. if so replace the sensor and connector. bot are easily available. you also may look into replacing the thermostat,if the thermostat is stuck then coolant(antifreeze) is not flowing into the engine,so therefor it is not sensing the it is getting hot enough to cool down,so the fans wont turn on.these would be the most common problems. it is not impossible that you have something wrong with the cooling fans themselves but it is not that common.

This is a sure wire break or a loose joint in the connectors and you can either slice the suspected wire and tighten the connectors which must solve the issue.

Go to your local auto parts dealer (call first) and have them do a diagnostics test on it (if you can drive it). If you cannot drive it, do the following first:
1. Purchase a can of MAS (mass airflow sensor) cleaner, and clean the MAS. This is located between the airfilter housing and the intake. (small black box, with wiring harness out of the side). If this does not help, make sure the airfilter as well is clean (not plugged, ripped etc).
2. Replace the Idle control valve, pcv valve, fuel filter.

check to make sure yu have 12v at the battery, once you do turn the ignition to start, if nothing, check the fuse and relays that control ignition, if all is good then the click sound is coming from the starter, have the solenoid replace.

if the oil is red is trani, oil. black oil need head gaskt.

Have you had it analyzed at autozone did any codes get displayed?

wiper park function is gone in the wiper motor, you will have to put a new one in. not easy, requires removal of the top of the dashboard. there are videos of folks doing this on youtube.com.

You can get a LED tester at pretty much any auto parts store that you hold to the fuse and it will light if its good (as long as power is going through that circuit. Testing with the key on should power all circuits). Or pull each fuse and look at it. The one that looks blown most likely is the one that needs replaced.

it needs a radiator.

The park relay on the wiper motor circiut board is likely stuck shut.Probably needs wiper motor replaced

Light red fluid from right side could be either DEX-COOL antifreeze (thin, watery), or automotic transmission fluid (dark red, oily)

go to eBay and look at some pictures of new rear window regulators for saturns. you will see they are gear driven (90s) or have a cable (post 90s). i assume you have a post 00 saturn and the cable is broken like most GMs. either way get yourself a new regulator and pay an auto glass shop to install it for you.
