I have seen this problem several times, but only ever on a Saab. It is caused by high resistance at the battery terminals. To cure simply remove battery clamps from posts, clean, lubricate(petroleum jelly or similar) and refit. If anybody can come up with a reason why it only happens to Saab's I'd be intrigued to hear it! <TimeRangernopsam.com> wrote in message news:F4rYONjWYyubmqh4UzPL22ZeMbSunopsamcom... > On Wed, 22 Mar 2000 02:59:31 GMT, "Nilsa Mabel" <nmabel1nopsamp.rr.com> > wrote: > > >Same problem - Took it to the dealer who cleaned all grounding and > >connecting blocks, especially the started circuits.
