I have a 1996 saab 9000 cse 4cyl. turbo & I recently posted my battery dies when sitting all night, but I now discovered the battery is fully charged, but will not start unless I jump it. What could be the cause of this?

Go to Autozone to get a $5 battery post and clamp cleaner. It has steel wires to brush them to a shine. Then reconnect the clamps to the posts.

I once had a battery which was showing fully charged but wouldn't start my car (couldn't push through enough cranking amps I guess) and I also was having to jump start it off work collegues cars at the end of each day. I eventually forked out for brand spanking new performance battery and all my probs were solved. Consider trying a different battery if cleaning the terminals fails.
