OK - I posted a reply to a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, which I believe solved it. You may have an earthing problem. The braided battery negative lead should, at the other end, be connected to the engine. You may have enough corrosion there to cause bad grounding. Remove that end, file clean all contact surfaces (cable, engine contact point, and washers), reassemble. Takes about 5 minutes. Tell us how it goes, because if that doesn't fix it, I'd like to know of alternate causes. My Saabs are 1983's and will surely get the same disease soon ;-) Regards, Robert Pete wrote: > Hi, > I have a new problem with my 84 900T. > On Monday the left turn signal starting clicking the relay inside at > twice the normal speed, and not flashing the outside lamps.
