I have a 1998 Saturn that had been working fine up until this morning. I went out to start it and it appears as if it is not "turning over." I tried jumping it, but nothing. All other aspects of the electrical system seem to be working - -lights, radio, etc. Is there anything else I can do before I have to take it into the shop?

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Doesn't crank? Doesn't run? Which is it?

If it doesn't crank, make sure the battery connections are tight on both ends. If so, rap on the starter with a hammer. If it cranks, the starter is wiped....get a Saturn rebuilt and install it.


If it cranks but won't run, start with the links and posts in my signature file below.

 

Thanks Joe.

It wasn't either. Apparently it was a bad sensor that was affecting the starter.
