The diode thing is what I was thinking. I bought the car from a Saab dealer (Central Saab in Norwood, MA) in 10/06. A week later the alternator crapped out. They replaced it (and the battery) under warranty. A year later the car was dead...same systems as the year before...back to the dealer it went. They could not find a problem for 3 days. Then they said they located a bad cell in the battery and replaced that. Less than a week later the car was dead again...and I have been playing the needle in a haystack game since. Seeing as how the dealer wants $742 for the alternator alone (and the fact I don't trust them on warrany stuff (black DI cartridge!!!)), I cannot afford to take the chance of having then reject the warrany claim...last years alternator and battery was over $1200!!!!!
Thanks,
Dave
