Good info, thanks. In my 96 9000, of course, I have no glove box! But the symptoms sound very similar - in fact, it started doing this just after I got it back from a (dealer) servicing, during which they had disconnected the battery. I am not immobilized, though. I'll try and find out where the bypass switch is in mine and have a go. thanks ms Lineone <adriannopsamone.org> wrote in message news:48ym7.16577$235.2076008nopsam6-win.server.ntlworld.com... > Malcolm, > > I've just had a similar problem ('92 9000 CS, UK spec) - now diagnosed and > fixed by my local SAAB dealer. > > Mine failed immediately after reconnecting the battery then tripping the > alarm with an open door. > > It failed such that there was no response to the remote control (blipper), > though the signal was good, and more annoyingly IMMOBILISED, so I couldn't > start the car.
