Sorry if this meesage was repeated.
Hi,
I have a 2001 automatic Saturn LW200 and my car have sometimes a strange
behavior. When it append, the panel lights and inside lights are blinking
quickly, the electric lock doors and gate don't work workproperly, the horn
make a jerked sound. When the car is on Park and I press the break pedal I
feel a quick "Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." under the shift lever. All the rest seem
OK (motor, radio, whipers, electric windows, flashers, outside light etc).
All the fuses seems OK (I checked the 3 pannels) but I feel the same
"Trrrrrrrrrr..." in the small box encircled in red in the jointed picture
(It look like a relay).
I have a good battery.
I think it is an electric problem caused by a bad contact or a short cut or
rust one a wire. When I was at the garage, everything was OK (a classic!)
I live in the province of Quebec, Canada so we have cold winter, snow, ice
and calcium on the road and on the carpet too. Maybe there is some wires
under it.
Your opinion is appreciate.
Thank you !
S.B.

It may be a failing Body Control Module (BCM). It is the computer that
controls the functions that you mention. Parts & labor about $400. Mine just
failed a couple weeks ago.
