Hi Kyle... maybe the connections in the back trunk are corroded. Open the trunk and remove the cardboard piece that covers the tail-lights. Start with the driver side. Carefully pry out the plastic electric connector with all the wires on it. It's got a bunch of electrical connections on it, but it's easy to pry out with a needle nose pliers or a screwdriver - wiggling & prying back & forth... GENTLY. If the contacts look corroded or dirty: clean 'em with spray-on electric cleaner &/or a touch of fine sand paper. That usually works right there. If not, do the passenger side and if that still doesn't work , clean the ground for the wires under that metal piece that runs down the middle of the trunk. I think it all just naturally corrodes because of moisture & time. - Orbitronik Kyle Kontney wrote: > I have a 1985 SAAB 900 Turbo, 4-door that I took on a trip.
