Has anyone ever died in a Saab automobile?
Certainly. The laws of physics vs. the planning of safety engineers can only go so far. Someone who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, for instance.
However, the odds of dying in a Saab automobile are far less than in nearly all other cars. Take a look at the IIHS safety ratings to confirm this. Saab has been in the top few every year for as long as IIHS has been collecting statistics, over 20 years.

How do you replace a key battery on a 2003 Saab 93 convertible?
You hold down the Saab logo and pull the end of the key fob so the actual key comes out. Then inside there is a small rectangle, you use that key you just pulled out to use as a lever so the two pieces of the key come apart, it is a really easy task, you will see the battery and you will know exactly which kind of battery to buy.

Why is water leaking into the car through the Saab 900 convertible top?
Because probably the latches are not properly closes or they might be damaged
How do you put my top down manually on my 1998 Saab 900s?
It probably works the same as my 1995 900 did: Unlatch the two clamps holding the top snugly to the windshield frame, then press the rocker switch which IIRC is on the center console, not far from the gearshift.
The back of the top will lift slightly, allowing the cover over the well the top fits into to raise up (hinged at its rear), then the whole top raises up and folds into the well, finally the cover closes back down.
Its sort of a neat operation to watch, and pretty quick. I often raised or lowered the top while at a red traffic light, and always finished the operation by the time the light turned green. The same rocker switch, pushed in the opposite direction causes the procedure to reverse and raises the top, just leaving you to reclose the windshield frame clasps.
Note there are a couple of builtin safety locks...one prevents operation when in motion, others will warn that you didn't unlatch the latches I think, maybe more.
Stories of how expen$ive repairs could be when the motors or relays went awry, coupled with a few seams starting to look frayed, prompted me to sell the car before I had actualy top problems, while I could get decent $$$ for it. I had read of one guy who had to have the top mechanism worked on a couple or three times, and had spent $5000 on top repairs by the time he gave up and dumped the car.
I bought my 900SE with 105k miles on it for $5400. Kept it 3 years and 35k miles, sold it for $5000. Not bad, driving a really neat looking and handling convertible for about $0.36 a day depreciation...not counting every time anything went wrong and it went to a dealer it ran m at least $1000.
How to install alternator in A 91 Saab?
1. Buy new alternator and go to where your car is. I also recommend buying two new alternator belts - neither is a spare, Saab put two on it.
2. Unhook the battery. If the new alternator doesn't have a pulley, use the belts to keep the alternator pulley from turning and break the pulley bolt free.
3. Loosen the two bolts holding the alternator in and push it toward the engine until the belts can be removed. Remember how they went on.
4. Unhook the two wires from it.
5. Remove the two bolts, then lift out the alternator. Careful, they're heavy.
6. If there's no pulley on the new alternator, move it from old to new.
7. Set the alternator in place. Put the bolts in but leave them loose.
8. Put the belts on. If you moved the pulley, tighten its bolt good and tight now.
9. Adjust the belt tension, then tighten the alternator bolts.
10. Reconnect the wires.
11. Hook up the battery.

Why does tcs light come on 2001 Honda odyssey come on?
TCS stands for traction control system. The TCS light comes on whenever one of your wheels is turning at a faster rate than the other (as in losing traction on wet pavement). The "system" automatically slows the wheel down that spinning too fast. The light comes on whenever it's actively performing it's intended function.
Where do you put brake fluid on 1999 Saab 9.5?
if your brake fluid is low, you probably need to replace your brake pads. If your pads are good and you fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere. By replacing your pads, the brake fluid level will rise to the proper level. If you add fluid now, then replace your pads, brake fluid will leak out the top of your fluid reservoir and most likely eat the paint off what ever it spills on. Brake fluid and car paint DO NOT MIX.

Where do you get replacement key made for 2003 Saab 95?
only place I know of is at a dealer.
You can buy a spare key on eBay for the electronic component of the key. Then go to a dealer to get a key made based on your VIN number. Then you can have anyone with a Tech II device "synchronize" the new key along with all other keys to the TWICE module on the car. All keys must be present during the programming any time a new key is added. This method is cheaper than going to a dealer for the entire process. Many independent Saab shops have a Tech II and will program keys for less than a dealer.
