My wife's 2007 Saturn has run great for the entire 8 years she has owned it. We have maintained it to the letter!! Recently, however, she had problems with the a/c and it has been very hot where we live!! I pit a new ( junkyard new) compressor in it for her and it worked great till last weekend when it was really hot!!! I checked everything that said a/c including (my dumbass) pulled the a/c diodes. When I plugged one of them back in, it smoked and killed the engine! All The Electrical In The Car Still Works, but the engine won't crank and even if I jump the starter, it will crank but not start! Any ideas? Well A new disorder fix this problem or did I f*#k it up bad??

I'm not sure if Saturn used an IOD fuse or not, but I'd try looking in the fuse box under the hood and check EVERY fuse to see if one is blown. I can't cay if replacing the diode will give the car the fix you're looking for or not. Go ahead and replace the bad diode and see what happens, but be sure to check that fuse box too.

When The air conditioning diode on a 2002 L series in put in backwards, it should just blow a fuse. However in the real world when you connect 12 volts + to the 12 volt - problems can cascade back upstream.
