A well learned lesson...
CHECK YOUR DAMN FUSES!
lol... well not right now but when you have problems. I swear it was such a pain in the ass... First new alternator, never disconnected new battery and sparked. Blew IGN1 30a fuse and drained my battery $69 tow and a day's worth of work lost to testing an alternator and getting a battery charged, doh! OH, and $2.00 for a new fuse. So that sparked, pardon the pun, a slew of electrical problems. NO ABS, Trac, Rear Defroster, or windows. And damn it was nice out today... So got home and pulled every fuse. Who wudda thunk it could be a stupid 7.5v fuse... I didn't... So I think my P0141 code can be traced back to another fuse, I hope. So, check you fuses, their cheap and small but can be a whole lotta pain. ... 02 Saturn L200 - 156k miles - Black on Black - HIT! 96 Saturn SL2 - 172k miles - Fire Red - SOLD 97 Saturn SL1 - 126k miles - Green/Brown Speckle
