ExpressAutoParts
The reverse lights both went out on our Saturn SL2. It turns out that this was the back-up light switch. The switch is located right in back of the battery. It has two wires connected to it via a plug. ExpressAutoParts had a model ls261 switch by Standard that worked swimmingly. It was nice to find online stock. All of the parts stores in the area required me to come in to the store first, pay up front, then come in again to pick the part up. Nobody would do it over the phone. |

Our daily driver has an OBD-II compliant interface and our check engine light turned on. We were able to check the code and reset the check engine light with the device that scantool sells.
