I turned the ignition and hear a very loud „popū from the engine compartment. And the car essentially died after that. Not enough power to roll up the windows, recline the seats, radio, etc. But enough to power some of the overhead lights in the cabin and the alarm sometimes was able to chirp. But that was about it. The unfortunate thing was that I was about 150 miles from home. Saab Roadside Assistance was very friendly, and after some convincing, they authorized a tow all the way back home. So the car now sits at the dealeržs service center. I guess this is one of the moment in which I wish I had OnStar. But Ižm not sure if the system would be powered with what happened to the car. Since the service center is closed for the weekend, anyone have any idea what might have happened to the car? Or maybe someone experience this same/similar problem?? Ižm thinking blown fuses, but would that have cause a very loud pop??? -- Marc Escuro mgescuronopsami.com mgescuronopsamnet --B_3116111239_876057 Content-type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>2000 9-5 Aero Problem</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FONT FACE=3D"Times New Roman"><BR> Well, it’s been 2.5 years and 42,600 miles and I finally had my first= major problem on my Saab.<BR> <BR> I turned the ignition and hear a very loud “pop” from the engin= e compartment.  And the car essentially died after that.  Not enou= gh power to roll up the windows, recline the seats, radio, etc.  But en= ough to power some of the overhead lights in the cabin and the alarm sometim= es was able to chirp.  But that was about it.  <BR> <BR> The unfortunate thing was that I was about 150 miles from home.  Saab = Roadside Assistance was very friendly, and after some convincing, they autho= rized a tow all the way back home.  So the car now sits at the dealer&#= 8217;s service center.  I guess this is one of the moment in which I wi= sh I had OnStar.  But I’m not sure if the system would be powered= with  what happened to the car.<BR> <BR> Since the service center is closed for the weekend, anyone have any idea wh= at might have happened to the car?  Or maybe someone experience this sa= me/similar problem??  I’m thinking blown fuses, but would that ha= ve cause a very loud pop???  <BR> <BR> <BR> <B>-- <BR> <BR> Marc Escuro<BR> mgescuronopsami.com<BR> mgescuronopsamnet<BR> </B><BR> </FONT> </BODY> </HTML> --B_3116111239_876057--
