Thank you for the video my wife calls me on her way to the dentist with my eldest daughter. The car is smoking from the steering column she pulls over on the freeway. I drive up swap vehicles take it home and decide to do some backyard boogie Mechanics. Saw your video bad da bim bad da boom problem solved 👍👍🍻 your awesome man!!!
0:58: "WIPERS!!!" That was adorable! :D Can't thank you enough for posting this video! My wife messaged me at work today to tell me this was happening in her L200; I was going to take it to a shop and spend way too much to have someone else fix it, but now I'll just tear the top cover off, diagnose which switch it is (turn signal, wiper, or both), and then order the parts and install myself! Can you tell me how tough it was to remove the top cover? Did you have any trouble getting it back on?
I fix my switch then my car won't start then replace the starter switch then the light stays on the we switch the light handle and it works great now thanks for your help
My Saturn Vue 2006 started smoking this morning when I used my blinker. I turned car off and it continued to billow and my high beam dash light flickered blue with key out ignition. Terrible I had my kid exit vehicle and popped hood. Tried to start after dash high beam light and smoke fizzled out but my battery was dead. Can't afford this bs NOT RIGHT NOW so I will go back pull fuses responsible for turn signal get a jump just to bring car home and park it. 🤦🏾♀️😩
Fit JarZ mine is the high beam switch smoking. And now the high beams come on on their own. I have been disconnecting the battery at night so it won't die. Just until I can get to pay day
I have a Buick lesbre I recently seen smoke coming from my steerwheel column twice while driving i was kinda terrifying but have to be careful fr fr I haven't figure out what it is yet
My 03 l300 has been doing this and I can hear the static from wires touching and burning plastic. Free repair?recall? It seems to happen with these car.
7 years later and your still helping people out! Had this issue just start happening to my Saturn, thanks for the video!
Happy to help!!
Perfect! Your video allowed me to save $200 as that is what an auto electric shop quoted me to make the repair using my aftermarket part. Great job!

thank you for this video...I'm having the same problem but with my signal switch....
Thank you for making this video. I told my boyfriend about this issue and he didn't believe me. I am going to show him this video
thanks!
top cover was easy to remove.
just pry it apart at the seam using a flat head screw driver
Thank you for this vid. My wipers stopped working yesterday. Hopefully I can find someone to install it for me once I get the part.
My wifes car just did this today..... changing it in a couple days when my part comes in.
Nice vid man! This helped me fix my 2003 Saturn L200 that had the same problem
I just had this issue come up with my recent Saturn Vue when I apply my brakes. Also engine intermittently goes into security mode.

Frances peacock. ...glad I could help! it's ridiculous that someone would try to charge 200 dollars in labour to do this job.
Shane Arruda I just called my local mechanic and it will cost me $235 total. Plus tax
erica whitchurch DIY and save your money! :)
I did. My top cover was a tad stubborn but I got the job done. I just think it is so ridiculous how expensive some of these minor problems can be.

Do you have to disconnect the battery at all to prevent the air bag from deploying?
The airbag will not deploy. It is a good idea to disconnect the negative when working on your car.
Any suggestions: read my last comment and why hasn't theee been a freaking Recall if this is a common issue with Saturns
Fit JarZ I said the exact same thing!
