Question Chris,
I am not sure if my previous question went through, I got a strange error message on my screen.
I noticed that you recently answered a question regarding a Saturn that would not start. Last night I went to start my car and it was completely dead. I had a tow truck give me a boost. The engine turned over but would not start. The other strange thing is that there were a number of electrical items that did not work. I was unable to use the automatic locks or "pop" the trunk from either inside the car or using the remote. In addition, the interior lights in the car would not go on.
Thanks for your help.
Dave
Answer David,
Go to your local Saturn facility and have them check the BCM. Anytime you find some kind of strange electrical behavior from your L-series, you can almost bet that it will involve the Body Control Module. Let me know how it comes out.
