Re: Fuel Tank Fitment

Re: Fuel Tank Fitment

Re: Fuel Tank Fitment
luckily, i got to pick the exact car the tank was to be pulled from so i chose a 6/00 sl1. I'm guessing that's a 2000. The original tank straps are reusable. They even kept the pump and charcoal...

Re: Trunk lid woes
I think I fixed the problem by removing the trunk light (w a broken housing), and disconnecting it. Maybe there was a short to ground.

Trunk lid woes
Hello again,
My 01 SC1 has been great recently, except one moderate problem:
The trunk latch system seems to be breaking. The trunk lid latches and stays closed, that's all well and fine, but...

Re: Aftermarket Radio Problem
if you have no solid blue wire coming from the pioneer on that model, the harness is wrong. I'd contact the place you bought the head unit from.

Re: Aftermarket Radio Problem
I'm presuming that you are not using any RCA outputs? Either way, check your ground first. Then triple check that the wire colors really do match. The Saturn harnesses can be a little confusing to...

Re: 2002 SL2 wheel grinding on left turn
