Every Vehivle I've ever owne required removal of the door panel to do such a repair. How to do so is a little different for each car. You should be able to find how in a chiltons manual for your car. They're worth thier weight in gold. Usually involves unsnapping panel clips, removal of a few screws. it's actually quite simple.Dan

get a new power window regulator for 90 bucks on ebay, pay a glass shop to install it. it is an electric motor and did 10 years service, you can afford to replace it every decade. i have replaced 3 on a 99SW so consider yourself lucky.

the teeth on the regulator are stripped, amazing this is the first go round on that issue on a 20 year old car. get a new regulator, not just the motor, parts stores and eBay best/cheapest places. pay an auto glass shop to install it . they have the know how, the tools, and the fasteners on hand. once you have tried this yourself you would gladly pay someone 50 bucks to do it the next time.

The SL2 is a DOHC, the SL1 is a SOHC. You have put more money into it already than it is worth. Seems like a free check of the crankshaft being locked up might have been a first move before expending money. There were several small improvements made to the Saturn after 91, the fist year. I would suggest looking around for a 95 where your new parts will still swap in, possibly even a 96. You can get one for less than $500 if you look around. Stay away from automatic transmissions in Saturns.

Some Saturns came with traction control as an option. It all depends if your car had that option. Generally if you have ABS you have traction control.

Probably best to replace, when the mechanism gets unreliable do not risk fixing try a wreckers yard, make sure the replacements pull out cleanly but lock when "jerked" hard.

could be anny thing sounds after market though

well first you drain the coolant out at the low point on the radiator, that way it is saved if new. then you take off the right front wheel and remove the plastic access cover from behind the wheel to get to that side of the engine. then you take off the serpentine belt and etc. yes you can do this with the engine still in the car. you may want to consider replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner while you are in that area.

i would try calling an auto parts store a lots times they will sale ignition switch ,,,good luck ,,,joe

2000 to 2004

There are only a few things left, check the radiator or send it to a radiator shop to see if it is clogged, if its fine then it should be the water pump. What is the condition of the antifreeze? If it has been neglected the passage ways in the motor and heads could be clogged.
