^^^ This.

Obviously, make sure the coolant level sensor is plugged in. If the vehicle has ever had some collision repair in the front right corner check the wiring harness that plugs into the sensor for damage.

Lastly, if you need to replace the reservoir, I would strongly recommend using a new OEM replacement part (Saturn part # 21030881). I installed the Dorman part on a previously owned 2000 SC2. I found that the quality of the Dorman reservoir (Dorman part number 603-121) is inferior to the OEM part. The plastic they used seemed to be a bit softer, and the threads for the cap are molded just a touch too small for any cap other than the cap that comes with it. The OEM cap from the original reservoir couldn't be properly tightened on the Dorman reservoir. It felt like I stripped the threads, but they were not stripped.
