That's a new one on me. I don't recall seeing any mention of it in the Bentley manual. If you can share the location of said socket, I'll gladly give her a whirl.
More 411:
1. The battery tests AOK. Removed from the 900T and temporary mounted in my Volvo 745 with 2.3L 4 cylinder red block. She fired right up and cranked nicely.... so there is nothing amiss with the motivator.
2. The temporary jumper wire (I soldered together out of 12ga copper, very heavy as I know the current draw to actuate the solenoid is not that high) did not crank the engine. When the key was actuated to START, the 12.8VDC signal immediately collapsed to near zero.
3. Another clue..... the starter switch does not seem to actuate as far in the CW direction as I think it used to (or should). Has me suspecting the issue may well be buried inside that ignition switch (which was supposedly NOS SAAB including a new key). Now I'm wondering if it actually was PRO PARTS Sweden aftermarket of poor quality?
The hunt continues.......
