Ive already replaced the headlight switch and a new wire harness for it but started smoking again. any helpful advice?
Then its shorting out you will need to go to the fuse panel engine junction box and make sure there is the proper amp rating for the headlamp,the fuse should of blown instead

On a 2002 saturn, the headlights are not automatic, you have to turn the knob on the end of the signal light lever to turn them off.
Also, some models are equipped with "Daytime running lights"; a safety feature. these daytime running lights are just the amber colored front signal lights, which turn on automatically when the parking brake is released to make your car more visible during daylight hours. Furthermore, if any headlight refuses to shut off, there is an electrical problem, most likely a failed relay, which are located in the underhood fuse panel and can be checked quite easily with a multimeter, relay failures are veryrare, but not unheard of, especially in vehicles equipped with aftermarket fog lights. Thankfully they are cheap and readily available and are as easy to change as a fuse.

This may or may not be related, but....I just spent numerous hours on my daughters 1999 SC1 for it was "arming" the security system, and wouldn't start. This was irratic and would come and go. Today I discovered that moving around the wiring that goes to the center console fuse block would make the interior light go on and off. I was losing power to four fuses, one being the "chime" fuse. I had to remove the console, all of the fuses and relays to get the fuse block out and apart. It's like layers. The final result was a power wire connection that was opened up and loose on the terminal that feeds the fuses. You could see a little melted plastic around the connection. I think this may be a problem for saturns. I just tightened the connection, cleaned it and off we go. Hope this may help.

sure you can relax and look at them if they don't detach at the cluster then trace the ware about 5 inches in and it should be right there
