The ignition switch probably needs to be replaced. Mile Hi Auto Body in =
Denver (303) 595 4646 has a good selection of used parts at reasonable =
prices. They are at 5th and Lipan, near the east end of the 6th avenue =
st bridge.
You can adjust the wiper arm maybe, otherwise the wheel which drives it =
may have come off. Mile Hi advised me to fix the one I had rather than =
replace it. You need to pry up on the cowl with a 2x4 to get the thing =
out, then put the drive wheel in the right spot, drill it and put a pin =
in it.
The shifter thingy which helps with selecting 3/5 gear is probably =
broken and needs replacing.
Mile Hi is very knowledgeable on SAABs and is willing to give advice as =
well as sell you parts or fix your car.
Another good one in Denver is Randy's small car repair on Federal north =
of Hampton. A much smaller shop, a bit less expensive but does not have =
a large inventory of used parts.
If you're not in Denver, I don't know.
Your other problems require troubleshooting. Try asking Mile Hi or =
buying the appropriate manual (about $50) and follow their =
troubleshooting guides.

Hello,
I just bought my 1988 900s yesterday, its high mileage and I got a =
good deal on it. The car has a few thing I need to get sorted, if anyone =
has any good info on how to resolve the following issues, I would be =
very greatful.
1.) Ignition key wont go into the ignition barrel very easy. I am =
having difficulty getting the starter to turn .. I have to fiddle with =
it for a few minutes. The key dosent want to turn into lock position =
either (reverse gear enabled). The key seams to be ok in Park position =
and pre-start position .. engine warning lights and buzzer comes on .. =
but key just wont go any further to start engine.
2.) Dash illumination not working .. nothing at all .. have adjusted =
rheostat, but still nothing ?.
3.) Passive seatbelts are stuck in on locked position, they do not =
retract.
4.) Driver side windshield wiper stuck in 12 o'clock position and =
wipes too far over. ?
5.) Gears very sloppy and hard to find .. no grinding or anything .. =
just sloppy shift lever.
6.) Engine is idleing at 1200 rpm at idle.
Apart from these few problems the car is in good shape. The ignition =
key is the big problem as it is leaving me potentially stranded in =
places.
Thanks,
Gary, Colorado
