Another solution is to get 12v microlamps at Radioshack. Just reuse the plastic holders. Cost about 2 bucks for two bulbs. Item # 272-1092. I used them in my 1997 sl2 and they work great. You can even reuse the rubber covers on the bulbs as well so they look correct as well.
I have a 98 SC2. The dash switches for the rear defrost, fog lamp switch, and the AC Switch, and Vent Switches are backlit when the headlight switch is turned on. These bulbs are burnt out….they remove very easily, but I cannot find replacements anywhere (including GM dealershps). The bulb is integrated with a small white and black plastic holder (similar to the instrument panel bulb, but a bit smaller). Do you have any info. on where replacement bulbs can be located? Wht Type bulb is this
Great as always. Of course, on the second gen Saturns (like your Blue One), the two screws on the back of the console are on top (and inside the armrest box, if you have one).
The Saturn SL models were not based on the Vauxhall (a car model that very few people here in the USA has ever heard of or seen). They were an original design built in Spring Hill, Tennessee. I also have a Jaguar XJ6 in the garage that needs some TLC, do you know any mechanics named Nigel or Derek willing to live in my garage until he gets it running? I will supply the Newcastle Ale.
not exotic but unusual yeah, we dont really get american cars here, we’re only just getting the mustang. saturn did take a design from our vauxhall manufacturer vauxhall are owned by GM these days so i guess saturn must be also
Haha, so my Saturn SL2 would actually be looked upon as an unusual and exotic car in England? Here in the USA the Saturn is an all American made, dent proof, reliable, good handling car. The SL2 will look great for many years due to its polymer body panels, my car is 18 years old and still looks like new.
Love your channel! Only thing that I might have added that before re-installing the centre console, maybe you might have wanted to test the new light. I have successfully re-installed bad bulbs (ha ha), and replaced good bulbs where it was a wiring issue not the bulb.
you’re a legend richpin, love watching your videos even though the cars you work on aren’t sold in my country. would you like to come to England and help me replace the failing head gasket on my car 😛
I need help. How much would you charge for a break booster change and breaks to be bleed?

Yes i have i am always trying to give you the viewers a better experience.
For saturn parts i go to GetSaturnParts if you can not find them there then there is only the salvage yards.
Nice video Rich!! :)
Rich pin— Haven’t checked in for a long time. I see you’ve gone “Hollywood” with your graphics. Looks GREAT!

As a safety measure. DO NOT STRIKE THE SRS MODULE UNDER THE CONSOLE. THE MODULE WITH THE YELLOW PLUG.

How does Saturn make a car which rusts on metal INSIDE the car? quality product right there :p

I was in a hurry ounce for an appointment does that count.

The Saturn SL2 is one of the easiest cars to work on, the average guy can fix just about anything with the help of Richpin’s videos.

The cigarette lighter in that car looks like the one you used on your dad’s Chevy prism for his extra power outlet in the video last week. 🙂

Its a shame the manufacturer didnt put the bulb near the dashboard, you could have changed it by just popping the money container.
Some designers want a boot up the trumpet lol 🙂
Peanut bulb!
