My husband's 1999 Saab has been getting the soft top failure too. He took it to a dealer, and they said it needs a new pump and it would cost several thousand dollars. I'm wondering if we should try what enzo suggests?
Here's what the mechanic wrote on his invoice: "Tech 2 test codes stored for the 5th bow latch switches tining out due to no top movement. Check the oil level in the pump. Fluid is black and smells burnt. Check the pump operation. The pump runs intermittantly. Tap on the pump and it runs for a cycle or 2. Internal failure in the pump assembly."
Do you think it's worth taking it to a different dealer and see what they find? If the oil is black and smells burnt, maybe that's all it needs? I know I'm stretching here....but I really want him to have his convertible back.
Thanks.
