I have a 96 SL2 and the drivers side High beam quit working along with the DRL. I have checked and replaced the DRL relay, all the fuses, the headlamp bulb, and still to no avail I haven't fixed the problem. Is there any other sort of realy or fuse I might be missing or does it sound like a short. Please any help would be appreciated. Edited by: sw2cam

Look up electrical short on your search engine. Does that seem to be whats going on. Now look up open circuit.

Would this do it. My horn is disconnected not completeing its circuit. The prongs on my old horn broke off so its disconnected. I need to replace it and its a dealer only part. So I haven't got around to it yet.

I found that the generic low tone horn sold at AutoZone was anexact replacement for my '98 SW2's horn. Even made by the same manufacturer. There was a small electronic module glued to the horn with the wire plugged into it. All I had to do was pry it off the dead horn and reattach it to the new horn.</></>

Thanks for letting me know thats all you have to do. The small electric module that you are speaking of I assume is the horn relay. Saturns put the relay right on the horn, as far as I know. Thats how they get you to buy the part from the dealer. I'm sure most people don't know that you can buy a horn from Auto Zone and just take the relay off the old horn. I know I didn't. Now I can put the horn I bought from them to use then. Thank you for the useful information. I'll let you know what happens, it looks like I have a project for today.
