2002 Saturn Vue Fan Speed Switch Removal

2002 Saturn Vue 2.2L EcoTech 4cyl., 5 spd. manual trans., manual a/c control. How to remove and reinstall window switch bezel, radio bezel, HVAC controller and fan speed switch.

Handy tip. Those screws that have to be removed starting at 2:30 and reinstalled at 9:00 in your video tend to drop out of your 7mm socket and disappear in the void below. It is impossible to stop them falling out unless you have fingers 10 inches long, but you can make it easy to catch them. Stuff the space below them with a small towel or T-shirt or rag and fill/block the void. The screws drop onto this and you can just pick them off with your fingers. Do this when removing and re-installing the screws.

Thank you so much for this very informative video. The Hazard Switch fell backwards into the dashboard of my girlfriends 2004 Saturn Vue, and I had no idea on how to access it until I watched this video. We all sincerely appreciate your good work and very helpful advice. Take care and thank you again from all of us! Stay safe my friend!

[@davepeeters6518]

I need to replace the Hazard switch on my Granddaughter’s car - this video is VERY helpful! Well done - thanks

[@michaelstaschke9022]

Helped me fix my hazard button. Thanks.

[@ToolGirl27]

i will have to do the same!!!! will use this video as well

[@stevecook2887]

My hazard switch just pushed through the dash at 200,570 miles. I'll be replacing the switch because the flasher can't make up it's mind to flash slow or fast. But at least now I know how to remove the bezels and get to the switch. Thanks for making the video.

[@tonyveroeven]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. My hazard switch pushed through into the dash, so now I can't turn it on. I needed to know how to remove this part of the dash to fix it. Thanks!

[@talia522]

Tony Veroeven omg mine is broken to did u find out how to fix it

[@thetoysensei9951]

Did you ever find out if it broke or just slipped through somehow?

[@kenlynn2012]

Me too, slipped through

[@terrancerolland1152]

Slipd through but u can pull it back through.. it wont mount like b4 but can still be used if pressed gentlt.. Had the same thing happen. But got it working again.. the tabs are broken but fits in designated tunnel.

[@bryancory]

Dude, you ROCK. I need to replace the radio in my wife's VUE - and you also just fixed another problem. I had some work done, and the temperature switch has been screwed up for months - now I know why. Thanks!

[@Jaxonmn555]

Great video, thanks! Had to push hazard switch back into place and tape it in. Left all electrical connectors in place and saved even more time. You demystified the process. Saved me a trip to the dealer.

[@thetoysensei9951]

Seems common. Mine just pushed through too. Did you ever figure out if it was because it was broken or just somehow loosened over time?

[@shadowprovesunshine]

@@thetoysensei9951 my husband said it was from my super strength. I guess the clips just aged and couldn't handle the pressure and broke.

[@allent1034]

Thank you so much for posting. Ten years later it is still helping people. When I opened mine up it was already missing one screw then I dropped the other! Luckily I found it but the dash is pretty stable without any screws. I didn't need to unplug the window button trim piece, I just pulled it out of the way.

[@johndate4922]

Great video....I skipped the disconnect stuff except one connector on the top and the fan switch, which I replaced. Seeing how to push the three clips while the unit was still attached helped me do it with less dis-assembly.

[@Big-Foot-Randy]

Nice job! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share it with all of us.. I need to start making videos like this to help pay-it-forward.. Now that Saturns are basically orphans, videos like this are very necessary to keep these vehicles on the road.

[@maryshan80]

AWESOME video, very detailed and easy for anyone to follow your procedure.Nice work..Thanks for sharing

[@edcack4798]

just bought a 2003 the hazard button is pushed in now i know how to take the dash apart thanks for taking the time to make the vid and explaining how to remove the clips

[@thetoysensei9951]

Seem like a common thing. My hazard button just pushed through to. You ever figure out why?

[@unkulmark]

Thank you for doing this video because it is exactly what I need to do. I've been putting it off all summer but winter is coming on quick! My switch was intermittent (especially on the 4th fan speed) but now it's 100% non functional. I'll try cleaning it first like you mentioned. Instructional videos are one of the things that I love about KZbin. I hate to think what a dealer would charge for doing this repair job so thanks again for showing us how to do it.

[@gercio2782]

Awesome video, clear, straight to the point, well explained, thanks!

[@Alexandra-fz7lk]

Thanks! I also have a 2002 Vue, manual transmission. I want to have a friend see if there's wrong with the switch for the driver's side rear window, now I know how to pop it off. :)

[@231dks]

Thanks for the video. My switch is like starting the car, sometimes it works other times it doesn't. I knew it couldn't be that hard to fix but couldn't figure out how to get the dash cover off.

[@kyle51895]

Thanks a bunch for this! I changed out the white bulbs for red LEDs to match the Pontiac Torrent cluster I put in my Vue, and also fixed my screwed up temp dial from the prev. owner at the same time!

[@wtuaner1234]

This video was a big help to me in changing my BCM thank you sooooo much

[@unkulmark]

If replacing the blower resistor does not fix the 'No Blower Fan' symptom then check for a burned connection at multi-connector C200 which is located behind the left driver's side 'kick-panel' (removable by prying with a putty knife). The thick Orange wire that supplies 12 volts to the blower motor is routed through C200 & overheats over time creating an intermittent or 'open' connection. This turned out to be the problem with my 2003 4CYL VUE. You can search the Saturnalia website for more info

[@fuelblue]

Thanks for this, it helped a lot! How did our parents do anything without KZbin?? I was unable to release the middle control knob for the longest time. Turned out something got fried and the plastic all got fused together.

[@drjones694]

Thank you !!!!!!! Man I fixed this thing in no time thanks to your video !!!!

[@NESVFD]

I need my Relay switch changed. Good video.

[@27Chelle07]

What i would really like to see is how to replace the heat element in the seats and how to remove the door panel on a saturn vue. Can't find a vid that will show me those two things

[@khane9944]

Thanks man;it helped me fix my 2004 caution lamp switch also!

[@deannakoudele]

Thank You so much ! this video was exactly what I needed to see , VERY Helpful !!! We actually changed out a cd/radio but the video was great help ! Deanna Omaha Nebraska

[@Dontquoteme933]

Thank you. Nice video

[@redjaw69]

Thanks for a great video, lots of help !

[@MrRockrobstr]

Thanks. I might have to do this.

[@Amy7Wilcox]

This was very helpful for removing the dash, I need to remove the BCM any videos for that?

[@lookatfuturedave]

Thank You !!!!!!!!!! You Saved me some cash and time . Now I need to learn how to make a KZbin Video........... Theeeee Option_Man

[@rockshoxGT]

Great video, but how does the body control module come out? I need to replace it.

[@frankollar2583]

Thanks man.

[@MikeyMikeSxE]

@kyle51895 I just installed the Pontiac Torrent cluster and was thinking about changing the white bulbs for red LEDs as well. Could you tell me what size/type of LEDs and how many?

[@ahmad079597760]

hi I went to a technician to fix the compass handle that was checked in the lamp and no longer the steering unit The main counters work and stop during the driving command Saturn vue hybrid 2009 I have a problem with the compass control panel and the fuel counters do not work. What should I do? While driving the dashboard, the lights appear and then come back

[@christopherfrost4464]

I need to know what the symbols mean on the top right under the air conditioning vents please, they look like some sort of headlight symbols.

[@mhaddadi]

Thanks for sharing.

[@jasonmccorkle8760]

Thanks

[@racefanran]

do you no if that stores the miles??

[@nyvolt8737]

maybe change the title of the heading to radio removal as well...two more 7mm screws will take out the stereo for easy replacement

[@earthcouldcome]

hello my fan switch stops working and it works continuously and stop ,you think y have to change what?

[@BenHerbivore]

There is a common bad wire connection problem with the Saturn Vue. Orange power wire in harness behind drivers left foot kick panel. The connector is the issue I think. Bypass it. There is a blower motor "resistor" that may also cause this issue.

[@trinapalm]

My horn won't work.. On mine its a 2002

[@scooter4happiness]

Can u do a video on how to replace a car radio

[@JM811Cars]

You literally just watched it...

[@scooter4happiness]

JM811Cars no he replaced the fan speed switch

[@JM811Cars]

Mark Venturino well it's all the same steps, just 2 bolts on the radio, which you can see on the radio when the bezel is off.

[@scooter4happiness]

JM811Cars ok thanks do u know why mine wont come out though they just keep spinning

[@JM811Cars]

Mark Venturino Try pulling the radio out as you're unscrewing them, they may be stripped or something

[@dadknittel3570]

Y. io

[@drjones694]

Thank you !!!!!!! Man I fixed this thing in no time thanks to your video !!!!
