How to replace 1997 ignition switch Saturn SL1
Buy replacement switch first because you going to be working under the dashboard in an upside down position. Disconnect battery. This is important. Next crawl under dashboard so you can see or feel wires from ignition switch, remove them slowly and one at a time. Switch comes out after the clip in the back is removed. Now that you have it out, Take the new one and put it in with clip, follow other steps in reverse. A local repair shop will do the job for a small but worth while charge

What is wrong with a saturn sl1 indicator says it is hot after running for 5 minutes
John sounds like your sensor may be bad. Next it could be your thermostat sticking use a temp gun and measure the temp of your radiator at the cap. Do not remove cap. Just take temp. If it is getting hot it should spit water out. Check to see if the electric fan is coming on the sensor to cut the fan on maybe bad or the fan. Hope this helps.
I have a saturn sl car its a 2002 and it doesnt have no spark to the plugs
check that there is power to the coil with the ignition in the run position. I suspect that there is a failure to communicate between the key and the immobiliser in which case there would be no fault code as the code would only be reported if the fault was in the car system. Check the battery in the key.
Security light wont go out
The security light icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.
