2005 Saturn Ion 2.2. Where do I find my ECU module number on my Saturn Ion 2005 control board.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. You can't just replace it because it need programming for that car. It have to be programmed with the VIN Number and the mileage. There are very few reasons that you would ever change an ECU. The number is on a paper sticker on the outside. https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+Saturn+Ion+2.2+ECU+location https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me Speed Sensor https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+saturn+ion+2.2+speed+sensor+replacement ..

2005 Saturn Ion front passenger turn signal not working

Did you replace the bulb in the passenger side running light/turn signal socket? There are two filaments in that bulb, one for the running light (which you indicate works) and one for the turn signal. If that bulb (filament) is burned out, it will make the turn signal flash faster. I don't know why you were swapping headlights, don't know where the fire box under the hood is, and don't know what a jumper sore is, so can't help you any further. I have a Saturn Ion, and have never found a fire box or jumper sore in it.

I have a 2005 Saturn ion that will not start right away because of internal anti theft. Can you disable it?

Yes and no, I suggest getting a hold of a local audio installation shop and see if they can help you. To install an aftermarket remote start system you have to bypass the anti theft system.

My ignition switch gets stuck in the ACC postion

If the key comes out in any position besides lock, the lock not the switch needs replaced. Most commonly caused by years of heavy keychains. They pretty easy to change out and not to expensive, typically under 20. Sounds like the little springs are worn. This will fix problem of being able to remove key in acc position. And in lock position should prevent a battery drain. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/paul_0efc97cca45309c1

Key turns eng off .

Your vehicle is fitted with an electronic ignition key lock. they are in place to prevent you from removing the key when the vehicle is still in gear/not in park or park brake not applied, some foot not on brake ect. They are activated by a small electric solenoid on the back of the ignition barrel. You could have a faulty ignition barrel, solenoid or ECU signal lost or parameters are not being met,eg. vehicle still in gear. watch the below video on how to remove and clean the barrel may help, or at least you can further diagnose from that point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1aPknAvXmU

My saturn ion 2005, 2.2l engine will not turn over, is it the ignition switch?

That sounds like battery--wiring-or starter. Check the battery voltage. It should be 12.6. volts with engine off. Clean the battery terminals.

Replace radio in saturn 2005 vue. when finished the radio would not shut off with ignition, power to windows and all other electronic devices stays hot. also the lights and horn do not come on or beep

since the problem was seen shortly after you installed the radio; I would disconnect the power to the radio first. it usually has an inline fuse that you can just disconnect. then check to see if your symptoms went away. if so. the wiring is wrong for the radio.

I have an 05 Saturn: I shut it off the other day

changing plugs is not the answer adding quality injector cleaner to the fuel is a far better option as misfires are from problem injectors / low fuel pressures and pump problems have the fault codes read to get a close answer to the problem

How hard is it to replace heater core in 2005 Saturn ion

Not fun, that is for sure. If you cannot get to the core through the area behind the glove box, it will be a bear of a job.
