That wasn't so hard. That's about the best way to find out. The Saab dealer here has been bought twice and isn't nearly as receptive to unreasonable requests like "can I talk to the service guy". Which is why I don't go to them, I suppose. >> So it's like a Molex pin-pusher kind of idea if that means anything to >> you. > > Yes, a Molex pin-pusher on steroids.
