Run your vehicle turn on radio headlights wipers heat disconnect the positive side of you battery if the vehicle dies its still your altanator but also check the cable from your altanator to make sure it's not broke anywhere.

SOURCE: location of the evaporative cannister solenoid? 2003 saturn vue

Depends if the engine is 3.0 or a 2.2?
3.0 purge is on the top, back side of the intake. Black, cylinder. Looks the same on a 2.2, but is located next to the air filter.

SOURCE: 2003 Saturn Vue- will not go forward when put in drive, but backs

There is a major law suit against Saturn/GM to solve this.

SOURCE: possible bad alternator?

I went through three alternators before we found a good one for our saturn sl2. Now she has been good for two years. All I did was go back to where we bought it from, they hooked up the alternator to a machine and gave us a new one when it read that it was faulty.

2003 Saturn vue awd 3.0 testing showed alternator putting out about 1/2- we replaced the alternator & the serpentine belt,- red wire?the new alternator in did not solve the problem-battery is new-

How do you know it's only putting out about 1/2 ? an 1/2 what ? Amps or volts ? Did you hook up a volt meter to the battery posts ? red to red an black lead to negative post of the battery ? Does it show 13.1 to 14. 1 volts with the engine running , if so it's charging . The only thing that would cause the alternator not to put out full charge amps would be a bad diode inside the alternator or a power or ground issue. You need to check power an grounds doing a voltage drop test . Voltage Drop Testing the Charging System

I put a new battery on my 2003 Saturn vue. It will start then die. what is wrong with it.

because you have disconnected and replaced the battery ,it is possible that the CPU program in the ECM is corrupted. Use a scanner to reset the program and go from there.

The battery light comes on and off. Got a new battery and it is still doing it. Also the handle on the glove compartment broke off and can not open it to get our saturn book. 2003 Saturn VUE

When the battery light is on it usually indicates the alternator (generator) is not charging. Take the truck to auto Zone and the can check it for you and there will probably not be a charge.

I have a 2003 saturn vue v6, the engine cuts off as soon as i turn on the headlight or the heater, i just replaced the battery.

Sound like a bad alternator, if you had a battery light on it's bad. Start engine with an voltmeter check voltage at battery if you have less then 12.8 volts bad alternator, should have 13.5 - 14.5 volt's.Hope this was helpful.

The lights on my dash board flicker on and off then turn off.

I had the same problem some time ago, lights would go on and off, odometer appeared to stop counting at times rpm gauge would work and then not... power steering would off and on work and head lights would blink on and off when in driving light mode (off position).. The fix for me was I had to have the dash computer replaced (about $500). After doing this around 50k miles ago all the gremlins seem to have remained gone.. Hope this helps

Possible bad alternator?

Bad alternators straight out of the box are not uncommon. Replace it again and hope you get a good one. Make them test it on the bench before taking it out of the store.
