Saab

Saab started as a aircraft company in 1938 in Sweden. Their first car, the Saab 92, was prototyped in 45 and began production in 1949.

The Saab Gripen, a sleek lightweight multi-role fighter can reach over 1,400 mph.

is there a fuse between alternator and battery on a 2002 saab 93

dealer. take lots of money.

The cap is on the coolant reservoir (driver's side behind the battery), not on the radiator itself as in many other vehicle makes. Mine is yellow. DO NOT remove cap if engine/coolant is hot as system is pressurized.

Well, on my 1995 SAAB 90SE Turbo Convertible, it was on the floor right in front of the two front seats.

In fact, that's where the key has gone in every SAAB I've ridden in, but I admit most of the ones I've been in were from 60s or 80s...maybe they broke with tradition later on.

Hopefully there is a way...On my '95 Saab 900SE convertible there wasn't. If you set locked the car (and set the alarm automatically at the same time) with the key fob, you HAD to unlock the car using the fob as well! Fortunately I never lost my fob or had its batteries die between when I had locked the car and when I had unlocked it with the fob, but on occasion I would have the audacity to unlock the car with the key and then get to hear that yes, the alarm was still functioning.

Due to this it's advisable (IMHO) to either forget about using the remote fob at all, OR always make sure you had at least two of them programmed and working ok.

If you only have one working programmed fob, you can buy a second (eBay is a good place to look) and then pay about $50 for a dealer to activate the programming of the 2nd fob to your car. BUT, if you lose or break all the fobs, in order to get new fobs programmed they also have to replace the computer module that they work with...over a $1000 expense!

Hopefully since your 9000 is newer than my 900 was, you won't be in the same situation. This is one (of many) issues with the 95 Saab that lead me to sell it during one of those moments that everything was working well. I liked the car overall, but there was always something lurking waiting to take a $1000 or more out of my wallet to resolve. bummer.

good luck.

It is located on the fan shroud. Look on the side by the battery, go to the fan shroud and look for a small brass cylander. That's it. It should have two or three wires coming out of it. Two wires go to the fan and the single one goes to the switch. This controls your fan speed(two speeds for Saab). Not aware of any after market sellers so you need to go to SAAB dealer for it.

I need the heating and cooling wiring schematics for a 1996 SAAB 9000.

some are. there are 4 bolt and five bolt saabs. if the tire sizes are the same and the same number of bolts then they are. otherwise there will be ride problems, handling problems, and your speedometer will be incorrect.

Driver's side, rear of engine. Between the oil dip & the coolant tank.

Saab dealer quoted 1 hour to replace the serpentine belt. The cost of the belt was $60 canadian.

The Saab 9-3 and 9-5, and the new-generation 900, were based on the Opel Vectra.

The Saab 9000's chassis was designed to be made by Saab, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Fiat.

The original Saab 900 was based on the Saab 99, which wasn't based on anything else.

Follow the three small black silicon hoses coming from your turbocharger/intake system, and You find the valve!

The dealer estimated $600 for a front brake job on my 95 900 SE Turbo Convertible, saying the SAAB rotors cannot be turned (machined smooth) safely, so this would have included new front rotors & pads. I went to Kragen and got everything I needed for much less, I think around $200 total, and did it myself. 2 years later, still stopping!

Well, this is not really an answer, but a perspective. I recently paid over $1000 for new front pads, rotors, calipers and labor for an '85 900 Turbo. This was from an independent mechanic. So, $565 doesn't sound that far off for a 9-5.

No, because when you buy a car you should turn the lights on to be sure they all work. Lack of due diligence on your part is not their fault.

Also consider: fixing a Saab headlight costs less than 20 dollars--just change the bulb, and they sell them at all auto parts stores, Walmarts and Targets in America. Even if you got a traffic ticket for having a burned-out headlight (and most cops will give you a warning ticket for this--fix the headlight, show it to a cop and you'll be clear) you won't recover enough from the dealership to pay off the costs of filing the suit.

Under the dashboard on the driver's side is a pull handle that partly opens the catch on the hood and then you have to open the catch located midway along under the hood edge by squeezing it and pulling it upwards. The hood should lift and remain in place. To close the hood, push down hard on the top of the hood where it will engage the locking mechanism as it touches the bottom edge of the hood.

The clutch master cylinder is supplied from the brake fluid reservoir via a rubber tube.

It might be a worn/broken motor mount.

Yes and no. From 1989 till 2010 Saab was owned by GM so the NG 900 used the a GM platform and the GM V6 engine, the Second generation of 9-3 was also used GM engines. The 9-5 also is based on GM cars but Saab has been sold to Spyker now so the new 9-5 wagon will be the last Saab developed under GM with the replacement for the 9-3 in 2012 being the first independently developed Saab in about 25 years.

don't ! take your vehicle to a certified technician.

Unfortunatelly there is no known way to do so. Remeber that the srs system has a part of it the air bags that are highly dangerous: they are explosive. I wouldn't fiddle around with them personally. I trip to the dealer is necesarry.

Cars trollingham Sweden but 9-3 sport convertible was made in the same factory as the Porsche boxster convertible in Dusseldorf
