2008 3.5L Aura
I guess I don't understand your way of asking a question. I didn't realize you were wanting to know what I did to fix it.
It was a high resistance short in the ground. Cleaned it up and that took care of it. Had I got a diagram here I would have shown on the diagram where the problem was and how I found it. It didn't take long once I seen the problem was a power issue. That includes the ground side as well. When checking the feed circuits we were getting less than 8 volts at times. We did a load test of the B+ side and it pushed 4 amps and lost only 1/10 volt.
We load tested the ground side and it dropped more than 5 volts with less than 2 amps draw. Wiring diagram showed the common ground point which was bad.

Unfortunately, we got off on the wrong foot. I obviously didn't see that you were looking for wiring diagrams. I saw doors, windows and keyless entry and that's why I suggested the junkyard. Sorry about that. My wife recently had a knee replacement surgery (Dec. 5th) and then 5 days later had a heart attack. I got her home on Dec. 20th. Then on Jan. 2nd her blood pressure spiked to 198/99 and I had to call paramedics. She spent another 3 days in the hospital. I am tired as hell and old (67) and sleep deprived. I mis read your original post (Obviously). Anyway, there aren't many members on this forum who own Auras. I can't think of any. So, with your years of experience and knowledge, you would be a valuable asset to this forum. I hope you stick around. As you can tell, I don't know much about Saturns as I've only owned 3 for a brief period of time and all were S series cars. Derf is the S series guru here and Andy (LW200) is the L series guru. Billy (Drop Dead) knows about several models but is always busy so he's not on here that often. Stick around and contribute where you can.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. That's hard. I just got out of the hospital on Christmas eve eve, the 23rd. My right carotid artery was 95% blocked. No sooner than I gert out and my friends start wanting free car repair. LOL
Sounds like you need to get some new friends! LOL I had an aunt who had her carotid arteries cleared a couple of times before she passed. She was in her early 90's when she passed, but she was still clear headed. Her heart gave out. What really sucks is that my father-in-law died on Christmas day in 1989. Christmas has never been the same for us since then.

fuse is good for the remote door lock receiver.
