2001 Saturn LS Interior lighting Problems

“Left tail light has failed 3 times in less than 12 months. Now both tail lights and the dash (control panel) lights have failed simultaneously. Fuses checked & replaced but did not fix the problem. Also noticed that all gear indicator lights (except park) are lit up simultaneously. I can't afford any more traffic tickets for inoperable tail lights!”

“The headlights, dashboard instrumentation, and dome light of this autobile are constantly dimming and brightening (flickering). This is making night time driving extremely dangerous. Saturn has issued technical information bulletin 04-08-42-001 in february 2004 stating that this is a normal operating characteristic . I believe it is a present danger and could also be a sign of a complete failure of the electrical system.”

“My brake, tail, and interior lights keep failling. I've replaced harnesses and other wires. I also have shaking of steering wheel and automatic locking system failure. Then I have trouble starting my vehicle and the service engine light comes on. Now I have other lamp (light) problems. I also have problems with my audio system where it will not allow me to use any of the buttons, whatever is playing that is what you hear until it decides to work again. My fuel efficiency is not good either, I'm having engine noises and exhaust problems.”

“While driving at various speeds, with the headlights on, the headlights and dash lights dim for no known reason, either with or without depressing the brake pedal getting the same result. Was told by Saturn dealer that this was common and nothing could be done to fix the problem. I would think that voltage regulation would be a simple thing to fix.”
