Trunk Wiring problems of the 2000 Saturn LS

Two problems related to trunk wiring have been reported for the 2000 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Trunk Wiring problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2004

Both rear lights assemblies shorted out, leaving my vehicle without any rear lighting. Service department stated that they knew there had been problems with the units shorting out and that they would "only" charge $25 per tail light for the replacement units instead of the cots ($165) for each. I feel this is a true safety problem and the manufacturer and dealership should be responsible for recall and replacement- especially in the 2000 Saturn which has been a complete 'safety' nightmare with problems too numerous to count.

2 Trunk Wiring problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2001

Faulty electrical tail lights; when headlights are on brake lights dont come on. Head lights off tail lights come on. Also, interior dashlights dim upon the depression of the brake. I have seen many other Saturns with same problem. . . Its only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.
