Rich
thanks,, this is very helpful, and explained very well. I love your accent

to videos.

Hi Rich, I bought a 2005 Saturn Ion MP3 radio off Ebay to put in my 99
SL1. I did not get a pigtail with it and the connector on my 99 is
different,
Do you know the pinout for that radio so I can modify my original connector
to work?
every deck i put in my car will blow the deck fuse after a few minutes i
will replace deck and it will do the same thing .could it be a bad ground
from battery? Thank you ! ive owned the car sence it was brand new 1996 sc2
i had a deck professionally installed when i first bought it worked fine
until 2006 then for no reason deck went blank so i tried to replace it
thats when every deck i installed blew a fuse.
@MrRaiders6769 If you want to show your appreciation find my videos with
the google adds off to the side and click on them they give me a few cents
and it all adds up.Your radio problem sounds like a possible problem with
the non switched power wire to the radio or something in the radio and if
that is the case i would be looking at a new radio.
This video really helped how to take it out I got a 99 saturn to just
bought it two weeks ago, But I got a sony xploid radio I want to put in and
the Harness in the back is different from that harness for the radio
already in the car how do I change the harnesses?
Thanks Richpin, another great video. I have a couple of questions, which I
must break into a few coments. My daughter got a a new stereo and sub for
Christmas from her very generous big brother. We installed it in her 97
Saturn SL2. As usual I started with your site before starting any work. The
install went great and the stereo sounds really good, the only problem is,
the car will no longer start. It started to kick in for a second or two,
twice then died.
Thanks to your video,I was able to easily install an aftermarket jvc radio
in my 96 sc2. now, I have to figure out how to put a new passenger side
window motor in. You must have worked for saturn cause of how much you know
how they were assembled. thanks again. john
@markcanflow The radio is bad.You can check it if you like by removing the
radio fuse then remove the radio replace the radio fuse if it does not blow
the radio was the problem.
Question, for a Saturn SC2 94, the original radio works, but when I install
a new one, it doesnt work, is there a way to find out compatible radios? (I
tried using two different stereos)
Interesting side note: To those of you that are attempting to put an
aftermarket stereo in, and are hoping to buy a factory stereo wiring
harness adapter to avoid cutting and splicing wires, they used the same
plug and pin-outs on the GMC/Chevy `88 to `94 (think 94 was the last year)
pickups. (The ones with the actual stereo under the dash just above the gas
pedal.) So if for some reason you can’t find one listed for this Saturn,
grab one for an `88 Silverado and it’ll work.
Thanks Richpin for the detailed explanation on how to remove the car radio
in a 1995 Saturn SL2. I have one that the radio works fine but I have a
cassette adpater that plays my iPod and it’s stuck in the cassette player.
The radio works after a few seconds but I need to remove the cassette
adapter. Can you tell mw how I could do that?
RichPin… Dude… Great Videos for the average guy! I learn so much from
you vids. Do you have one for replacing Dashboard Componets like switches,
dials on the SL Series? I’ve worked on most parts of a car but Dashboards
kick my butt everytime. I either break them because of hidden
connections… or break something else. Tips & Tricks like you show are
PRICELESS!!!

This doesn’t teach me shit hahah
As far as i know the radio can not disable the car.I have never had any
problem on the Saturn in regards to it loosing programming.
every deck i put in my car will blow the deck fuse after a few minutes i
will replace deck and it will do the same thing .could it be a bad ground
from battery? Thank you ! ive owned the car sence it was brand new 1996 sc2

thats when every deck i installed blew a fuse.
Can you show my how to unlock this same radio once my battery has died and
it is in LOC mode?
richpin my saturn has a anti-thift on my radio said i need a code help.
@Bass2Intense No it is different.
thanks for the kind words
would it be pretty much the same on a 2001 sl1? i got a cd player in mine.
Its okay if you dont know the answer…
When you turn on you head lights it turns on the light in the radio.I bet
you will find a blown fuse in the light circuit.
Thanks for your help richpin, I’ll try it.
well the thing is the radio has no nobs they all broke off and the radio
will not work any more so now what do I do?
@MrRaiders6769 Yes i just checked and there are no google ads on this video
maybe half of all the videos i have,have them.
@valuptuous1016 If you forgot your code you have to call your retailer to
reset the radio.
@PrinceFX Crutchfield is pretty good.

could the cluster have a fuse
My radio is bigger do you show that one?It’s 1999 SW2 it doesn’t have that
space in the middle
Great video! I like the concise instructions you provide. THANKS!
@ScubaStavee You are in luck yes it will apply
@markcanflow The radio is bad.You can check it if you like by removing the
radio fuse then remove the radio replace the radio fuse if it does not blow
the radio was the problem.
ok i have this car but instead of the small compartment i have an eq
adjuster….does that change the procedures
I totally agree with previous comment, but i am still waiting for a video
of the removal and install of front struts on a 95 saturn SL1….lol
@valuptuous1016 If it is in that kind of shape i might consider a new one.
@richpin06a alright thanks
Hey Rich, I put a new radio in my 2002 Saturn and now I have no tail
lights. What the hell did I do wrong?
Thank you for the info. Looks super easy.
@valuptuous1016 Whats great about the Saturn s-series is the plastic panels
don’t rust so the car can be 11-12 years old and still look good.
@princefx. If aftemarket-hookup issue. Still factory-buy adapter based on
car and its plug and play.
This may be a stupid question, but does this apply to a 97 Saturn SC1? I’m
going to be buying one soon and it is going to need a new sound deck.
Hey this was really helpful, thanks.
I do not think modern radios have a separate power for the light in the
radio.
Yes I waiting for a new radio from ebay hope it works, do I need to
disconnect the – side of the car battery when I get ready to remove the old
radio?
thats not my name!!
can I get any radio for the install ? or are there certain ones that fit ?
Question, for a Saturn SC2 94, the original radio works, but when I install
a new one, it doesnt work, is there a way to find out compatible radios? (I
tried using two different stereos)

This playlist is like gold for my Saturn. Thanks!
Does it work when u rehook the old radio?
The junk yard would be good place to pick up some of those pins.
Thanks for your help. I will try this this weekend. BTW Happy New Year.
