Three problems related to dash wiring have been reported for the 2001 Saturn LS. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
While parked vehicle caught on fire which started underneath the dashboard.
The headlights and dash lights on my 2001 Saturn l200 dim or flicker. This is a distraction during night time driving and while driving in inclement weather. N one partucular occasion I had to stop the vehicle when I normally wouldn't have expected to due to the further reduction in visibility as the headlights. Dimmed. There is the possibility that other drivers may think that I am flashing the headlights at them. The headlights and dash lights dimmed since the vehicle was new. Saturn states that this is a characteristic of the vehicle and there is no repair.
