With an auto trans, it could also be the neutral interlock switch. Other threads have indicated that this is a problem area. You might want to search for them.
I had the exact same problem on my trailblazer last week...turned out to be the ignition switch! honestly i don't even know if saabs use them but thought i'd chime in. good luck
I'd use 14 or 16; 22 is rather thin..it may heat up on you..
You could run a lead down to the starter, but be prepared to do some crawling and I hope you are small - a very brave eight year old could fit; otherwise we need jacks and or ramps..
Bridge 30 and 87 at the starter relay..
This must be done carefully and you must know all the ramifications..
This will bypass the relay and the NSS, the ignition switch ,and the alarm(if fitted).
The alarm/immoblizer is another hurdle for the solenoid current to the relay.
If there is still no action, then check the yellow lead to the starter(get out and get under):cheesy:
Depending on your steadiness of hand, the appropriateness of the tool, and your knowledge of auto electrics; a little mistake or slip up could burn out portions of the cars electrical system.....or just overload fuses..
Please be careful........or am I being overly-cautious ??:nono;
I have not always paid 100% attention - thus tools are damaged, sparks fly, alternators are fried...
Experience is necessary:cheesy:
Well the car got donated to the Greece/Athens school.
they are picking her up on monday.
She has served her time very well for the condition she was in.
Farewell '96 :cheesy:
