Must use Saab-specific controller Posted by pfrank [Email] (#549) [Profile/Gallery] (more from pfrank) on Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:58:04 In Reply to: Re: Xenon experiment gone awry (long), pfrank [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:48:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well, after much more research, I find two independent references that confirm that the Valeo LAD5G controller used on my '03 9-5 is different from the Valeo LAD5G controller used on some Chryslers and other makes.
While the "generic" LAD5G's fit perfectly and will fire up the lamp, they will not talk to the Tech II and cannot be re-programmed for the Saab leveling system. The Saab-specific units drop right in and require no re-progamming. Hope this keeps someone else from making the same mistake I did!
