Maybe it is a bad spot in the starter................Thats my point if you want to spend more money buying the wrong parts for the car because you do not know how to find the problem in the first place go right ahead, and thats what I find to be weird.

I am totally clueless when it comes to what's wrong with a car. My dad knows a lot about them, but I did have someone check the battery. How does just a "spot" in the starter go bad and not the whole thing?

My dad talked to Saturn and he says from what they told him the starter is going to be hard to get to. He's on his way to fix it so we will see how long it takes.

Yeah... I've never worked on (or really liked, to be honest) Saturns until I got mine... So I know nothing about them at all... Hell, to prove your case: I'll probably end up re-running all the wires before I figure out why my reverse lights don't work... lol

Well, my car is fixed and it took less than an hour, so I guess it wasn't that bad after all. My dad says he thinks Saturns are junk, because my car only has 84,000 miles on it and already I've replaced the water pump, lock cylinder and now the starter. But it is a 99 model, so would that make a difference in the parts going out? I love my car, and I hope this is the end of the troubles for a while..

Saturns are not junk unless you make them junk.

GN,

If you need help with your reverse lights, please start another thread.
