Odds are that if it stuck once, it may do it again. You don't really have to replace the entire starter, you could just replace the solenoid, but if you're going to pull the starter anyway, just go ahead and get another one with a lifetime warranty. They're kind of a pain in the butt to replace and you don't want to have to do it twice if the solenoid doesn't fix the problem. On the other hand, you could go several more years and not have it happen again. No way to know for sure.

There are a lot of how to videos on youtube, man. A guy named richpin has a ton of them for Saturns. He gives great details and instructions, so if you're interested in learning how to maintain your Saturn, that's a good source. I hope you stick around and share from time to time. You can learn a lot here, if you just ask and listen.

Richpin - yes I've seen a couple of his videos. Subscribed to his channel right off. Actually it was amazing how many how-to's on Saturns I was able to find online. Another channel I found a few saturns on was Ghosttownhunter. Which was cool, cuz I've followed his videos on prospecting and ghost towns for quite a while. To find out he was a master mechanic was an extra bonus.

I'll definitely stick around and pester you all with questions. I'm one of those knowledge geeks. Can never get enough and am constantly looking for answers.

Glad you don't mind.
