Hello everyone,I have been having a problem for the past couple of months with my 98 Saturn SL2. Briefly, what happens is that I will park the car, or leave it sitting somewhere, whatever, and come back later on to get in and go. Well, I go to start the car and I turn the key to the ignition point and nothing happens. I thought it was a fuse problem, but after checking ALL fuses MULTIPLE times, nothing is wrong with them. Now, the wierd part is with this problem, the remote door locks DO NOT work and the radio does not come on. I once again thought this was a fuse problem with a circuit or two, but nothing. Now a friend of mine said that it may be a grounding issue, but I checked the ground coming off of the interior fuse block and it is locked to the frame tightly. Now after a while the car will start back up, usually, sometimes it still stays 'dead' so to say. Now, also another friend mentioned to me today that it may be a Saturn Security issue, which I guess would make sense with the remote locks, iginition and radio issues. Now, just to elaborate, the security system I have is simple, just the panic button on my remote and when you press the LOCK button twice, and the car beeps, if you unlock one door and open it, the horn starts blaring. Could this be the issue? Anyone have ANY ideas? I am desperate, I already kicked my car out of frustration.

Kicking your car is always the best thing to do.

Yea I haven't the slightest clue how that popped in there, sorry about that, how would a tracker get in there anyway when I didn't even select anything like that?? I am posting this the same way and there is no html write up after what I have already wrote. OK...so after going to Edit, and taking that code out it reappears. Please don't block me for that crap, not my fault it's doing that...what can I do to remedy this please?? Thanks! Ok, I keep going back and every time its there... some google-analytics thing, what a pain in the @$$!!!!!!Here's a screen shot to prove I didn't put in any code!

Ok I'll let it go this one last time.

 

Me too,This is what happens when you have to use Java to type and post. Google analytics is a "SERVER" hostedJava Script software [Web Bug], If you are using a Router for wireless and or multi port computer connections in your home the router may have the code in it also, I am investigating more on this as I type. It is NOT an end user workstation program. It would be more tactful if Network Engineers like me would study these things before we lash out and slap good customers with automatic knee jerk wands of destruction. Shame on Google, this keeps up I will Black Ball them from my Campus Network. If I find a solution I will post it in a separate subject on the home index page.So far what I have found is the servers such as this one has the scripting software installed on there Chat Software , typical evidence you will find here, http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/11/p...gle-analytics- from-tracking.htmlI shall return with some more info. More info on it here, http://freeweb7.net/showthread.php?t=1611&page=3seems server hosted but can be from the end user security issues[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

FOUND IT!!! sw2cam listen up!!!
If you go to your Account settings, under the settings called : Enable the WYSIWYG post editor =
CLICK NO!!!!End user HTML editor Java script has a bug in it to add the script depending on your website visits.
Having Google as a default search engine, and integrating Google tools and web browser tool bars can cause this code to be added to your Java Editing dll's,
I am not sure to the pinpoint why? or witch one, I am sure WYSIWYG post editor has the bug. Now please
SYSTEM ADMINS Check and make sure your WYSIWYG post editor is CLEAN and free from this bug. Or stop threatning to Bounce and bump people off the forum.
Gotta love it, I am going to make sure my servers at work are NOT hosting this code.

As soon as admin fixes the problem then I'll not need to bounce or bump people off the forum. I'll have no need to go back and edit 25 posts a day so they can be read.

 

That means you will have to bump your server, leave these people alone out here there innocent, I proved there innocent, It's YOUR software doing this.

Why not instruct people to turn OFF WYSIWYG instead?
I have posted the instructions under the "Technical" arena in your front page called "google-analytics cure"
Copy the address of the post and post that as an automatic letter of construction instead of your automatic letter of destruction and humiliation.

Tell them to go here

And follow the instructions, problem solved.

Seen similar problem on my 97 SL2.
I had to clean all the electrical grounds in the engine compartment before the system would function correctly again. You'll find them next to the battery, on the engine block and underneath the air filter plastic.
My vehicle spent 7 years in Chicago, & corrosion on all the grounds.

 

This sounds like the classic "corrosion in the battery cable" problem. Its common for corrosion to get inside the positive battery cable and terminal end and cause the problems you describe. Do you an AC Delco battery? AC Delco's installed at the factory at the time of production and then used as replacements had a problem with the positive terminal developing a leak and getting battery acid inside the positive cable.
