The car is acting all crazy...
Won't start, tries to start itself when the key is in the on position
Throttle body open n shuts itself
Fan goes on and off

Guys say it the electrical, but I'm not sure if it's a relay or what.
Have a thousand already invested in this mess after a buddy burned out the clutch.
Any ideas...

. Check ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.

. Check all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

Be thorough or it will cost you, in terms of wasted time and money.

. Check for codes.

Saturns are normally fine, reliable cars.

You have short to ground somewhere, but where is the BIG question.
