1985 SPG electrical system acting up..need advice Posted by Gordon [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Very strange, was driving and my radio stopped working, in dash lights went very dim, blinkers worked VERY slow, and wiper wouldnt work, about 2-3 minutes later, the car lost all power, and then wouldn't start back up, no power at all, wouldnt even turn over.. I pulled to the side of the road, I had it towed to a local garage, I came back the next day, and out of curiosity, tried to start it up, and it did, fired right up, so I attempted to drive it home, about 10 minutes later, same thing happend again...dead.
Now, it has a brand new battery, cables, &had the alternator replaced about 4 months ago, as well as the voltage regulator. I have heard of people replacing there alternators over and over when really the problem is the ground or something, any ideas? Has anyone else had a similar issue with there SAAB? I know the older SPG's are more prone to wiring failure, but it was fine until this episode.
TIA!
