Some Saturn SC2 owners report experiencing smoking inside the dash, which may be linked to a faulty 12V relay. This malfunction can lead to significant electrical problems, including melting components within the dashboard. Owners are advised to locate the Bosch type SPST 12V relay, which may be hidden to deter theft, as it might be placed off-center or in a female socket. Addressing the issue by finding and replacing the faulty relay is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the vehicle.
