Check the fuses inside the driver's side kick panel (right side, against center console.) Turn the black screw, and then pull the panel directly off. Turn it around, and there is a diagram that will show which fuse is connected to what. Pull the fuse and make sure that it is not blown. (If it is blown the metal inside will not be connected.)

The one thing about Saturn's is if there is a problem with your car, then thousands of other people have the same problem. This problem is typical. I would bet it is the back up light switch if you drive a standard transmission. The back up light switch can be purchased for about $25.00 at an auto parts store. It plugs into your engine roughly below the battery. The battery may have to be removed to gain access to the plug, but its an easy fix. This only applies if you have a standard.

I removed the switch from the transaxel-with the front left wheel removed. Sometimes if you have some- electrical parts cleaner sprayed it the trans side of the switch can restore function to it. Had to do this because auto parts stores nearby did not stock this switch. works fine for now.
