Non-start, but runs great! Posted by Pete [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Pleeze, experienced Saab folks...
I just got a really pretty '87 S, but I have this minor problem...it won't start with the key. Key goes in just fine, in the engine on positon all of the stuff works, lights, radio, and all of the good stuff, but turn the key to the start position and NOTHING happens except the radio shuts off...no magic noises from under the hood...the idiot lights don't dim, and no starter sound at all.. On a push start, the car fires right up, runs fine, and is a joy to drive, as someone in the recent past appears to have done a lot of work to the front end.
I'm new to Saabs, and the local franchised Buick/Saab dealer (run by a guy with a cheap hairpiece and two first names) wants more to "check it out" than I make in two days. On my old car, the symptoms would lead me straight to a new starter, but I understand from looking at the old Bentley that there might be a little more to it on this fine car. Any help, advise, etc much appreciated!!!
