IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET A KEY HOLE FOR THE PASSANGER DOOR ?

THANKS.

PS. EXCUSE THE CAPITAL LETTERS THIS KEY BORD IS A MESS.

Hi,
I have ordered two 7-pin harness for a 1998 9-5 and I was just wondering if
anyone here has fitted them before.

I have also ordered a harnesss kit which the SAAB dealer tells me that I
need to connect under the dashboard for light failure device.

Does anyone know where the connector is situated under the dashboard as I
have looked and can’t find it anywhere!

Thanks

I’m getting ready to have a couple of maintenance issues taken care of,
and I was hoping to save some money, but quality is very important to me.
The two things I need are front brake pads and a rear muffler.

Is there an aftermarket brake pad that is of comparable quality to OEM
Saab?

Is there any real reason to use a proprietary Saab rear muffler instead of
going to the exhaust shop down the street and having them throw a generic
one on?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

 remove NOSPAM from address to reply.

My ACC works well but on a long run (say over 2 hours) the occupants feel
too hot or too cold.  My local Saab shop can’t find anything wrong with the
sensors.

Any clues anyone?

Thanks

As the gearbox for the tonneau cover has expired, I need to remove it order
to get some new gears put in it.

Can anyone tell me how to remove it, or at least a few starters?

Cheers

Any clues please on most likely cause of speedo failure on 96 9000 2.3lpt
CSE, 107K miles?
Haynes mentions cable & electronic speedos, but can’t see any reference to
specific fuse. Closest you get is number 13 – ‘instruments’.
Thanks in advance…..

I have got a double gilled bonnet,
12  [YES TWELVE]   Veined alloy wheels [metric size]

Hi
Yesterday I had a new fuel pump put in my 93 900S (the old one died)
and today I noticed that it cranks about five or six times before
starting when cold. Once it’s been running it starts in about one or
two times. I talked to the mechanic and he said it was the ignition
switch (the guy who towed it cranked my key when he was loading the
car. It turns kind of hard now).
Any advice?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reponses guys.  I fixed it this evening.  I still don’t know
EXACTLY what caused the problem, but I went ahead and bought a new cap and
rotor and came home to troubleshoot.  Spark from main, and also at the
plugs, so it wasn’t ignition (although for the life of me I couldn’t imagine
why the tach quit).  Checked that all grounds were solid, volt meter showed
proper voltage at all points between dist and Hall sensor and ICU.
Continuity and resistance also checked in spec.  Still no start.  Plug on
dist where Hall effect doo hickey (technical term) plugs in was
deteriorating, so I unplugged it and soldered new leads on it, plugged it
back in, checked for continuity, and siliconed my new wiring job for water
fastness.  Still no start, so I started thinking fuel (good call, Danny).
Shot a couple of squirts of ether in the intake, fired right up, then died
when ether was used up.  Before I siphoned 12 gallons of gas out and
replaced the pump, I checked vacuum lines on intake and to the FPR – guess
what, one was cracked BAAADDD.  Replaced it, still no start, so I went to
the fuses, everything LOOKED okay, but I replaced the fuel pump fuse anyway,
praying that if it wasn’t that, it was at least the pump and not the relay.
Voila, car started fine, ran for 5 minutes, and I took it for a spin around
the block.  AND the tach worked.  Must have been a combo fuel pump fuse /
Hall effect sensor connection problem.  Here’s hoping it starts tomorrow
morning so I can catch my 5:55 am plane to Omaha!  Thanks for the
suggestions!
