2000 Saturn SL1 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles
Having trouble with 2000 Saturn SL. Wouldnt start and couldnt get auto store to test alternator. Replaced with new alternator. Didnt fix the problem. Have had Starter tested twice, and appears to be OK. Any other suggestions?[/quote:f1440fbf54]
it doesn't matter how many times they test the starter they only test for starter draw meaning how many amps the starter draws when working.if the starter fails because of a intermintant open in the strter windings u will never be able to test that with the starter draw test.when it doesn't start what happens does the engine spin or does the engine not spin.do u have dash lights etc? When it doesn't start how do u end up starting it?do u have a test light or multimeter?do h have any codes?
