No, I believe the problem has to do with the location of the connector. Three days before my car began having problems I had to put oil and as always my hand moved and i spilled some, which i can assure fell into that plug. Since saturn are notorious for burning oil you can deduce that after so many years this little plug has been bathed several times in oil. Hence, if you remove the plug and clean it a little bit, it solves the problem. This is pure electrical problem.
