Subject: Re: My First Saab Problem


A common problem resulting in no cranking is lack of power on +15 circuit from the igniton switch-usually intermittent. Easy check if that's it, the gauges don't light up or register when the key is turned on, or there may be faint lighting of gauges. If no crank and no gauges-likely needs new ignition switch. Seconds on the advice about the cambelt. Warrantied at 35,65,95k-in US, within a couple thousand miles of scheduled major service. "M.P.
