  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Good afternoon all, I'm kind of at a decision point and would appreciate input. My car is an OG 2001 9-3 convertible w/ 5 speed manual. I need to dispose of it but I'm weighing two options: 1) Put more time and money into repair, then try to sell. 2) Bite the bullet and send to junkyard...

    So I’ve bought a Saab of this guy. Was working well 2nd day didn’t want to turn on was with some mates so we jump started it and it was all good. Next couple of weeks the car seems to go flat and be able to be jumpstarted. The lights light up on the dashboard the battery has been tested and is...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    The alternator in my 07 9-3 2.0T died a little while ago and I ended up replacing it with a remanufactured unit from Autozone (only one I could get reasonably quickly) as well as the 4 year old battery (H6 AGM I think it was, also from Autozone) + a noisy belt tensioner and belt. The car is...
  4. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I was driving my 07 9-3 on the highway today, 0 issues. Almost at my destination, I got all the above alerts on the SID. AC was blowing in and out (eventually shut off), clock was flashing and shut off, headlights wouldn't turn on (mine are set with tech2 so that I can turn them on/off), speedo...
  5. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey folks. I’ve been having issues with my throttlebody for while now and today. I noticed that my battery has been low. I also noticed that when I charge my battery it takes longer for the light to come on from my throttlebody issues. It may be just coincidence. At any rate I need a new...
  6. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I spent the better part of my afternoon replacing an alternator because my battery kept dying after charging. I noticed after starting the car that the battery voltage was 14.8 (tested via multimeter) but gradually the number went down as it idled. I didn't think anything was out of the normal...
  7. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I just bought this car a week ago, and has ran pretty much perfectly, starting up every time. All of the sudden one morning it doesnt even turn over, no electronics turn on at all, nothing. As soon as I take the key out and am done trying to start it there is a fast somewhat loud clicking from...
  8. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Good morning, fellow Saab drivers, Could you help me or think along with me regarding the following problem? I own a Saab 9-3 Sport-Estate, 2006 model, Diesel, with 150hp. It's a Swedish car. Sometimes, I am unable to start the car. I receive messages on my screen indicating that the traction...
  9. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I noticed recently my dash, odometer, and SID lights are very dim most of the time, sometimes they are dim but still visible. I have an aftermarket radio, and an oil pressure gauge that’s tapped into the 12v accessory port. It seems the lights are less dim when the radio is off, could it be...
  10. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey there, everyone, I’m a brand new saab owner. I had bought the car with a sketchy kinda start, and at first I thought it was the battery. Eventually, I started charging. I eventually got sick of this. And had swapped my battery out with a different one. Well in my Saab 9-3 aero 2006. The...
  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hey everyone, I've been fiddling with the dash to see if I could get the lights working again. I first replaced the dimmer switch as that seemed like the most common issue, and my car has the classic symptoms of the switch being bad (lighting up for just a brief moment when the vehicle is first...
  12. NG 9-5 Workshop
    Hi guys! I replaced a week ago my TiD4 Diesel NG9-5's battery as I discovered it was the wrong one. My car had some trouble starting and some Saab gremlins too so I decided to take a look to the battery just to discover it was a Saab original, but made for the old 9-5 (650CCA and 70Ah,too low...
  13. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey all, I’ve been trying to nail down a parasitic drain but the amp reading jumps from 1.4A down to .2A when hooked up between battery negative and ground cable so no luck with checking fuses. Battery drains below 12V within 2 days. My tech2 says there is no communication in the O bus after...

    Hi guys, I have a 2009 9-3 Aero V6 XWD. I am in search of the part number for what a appears to be a plastic cable housing that hangs off the side of the battery enclosure. Mine is broken and I would like to replace it if possible. I have attached an actual photo and a screenshot from a manual...
  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hi, My 2007 9-3 runs well at 230'000km, it's a fine car, and I'd like to keep it. The other day, after intermittently displaying some P0201-0204 error codes (injector - cylinders 1-4), it did not start after a short drive. The starter would turn, but the engine didn't start. My ex-wife tried...

    08 2.8. I was driving out of town and parked to grab some food, my car had a very weak crank, it had a Champion battery from PepBoys stamped with 08/19, and I bought it the day I bought the car, so about a year and a half ago. The car checked out, no shorts. Had the battery tested and it was...

    I have a 2008 9-3 2T. I had a weak start happen on me about a month ago. So I switch out the battery thinking that was the problem. Still happened. Then I thought the alternator wasn't charging the battery bc a few times it would not start at all even after I ran it for half an hour. So I...

    Hi all, I have a 1999 Saab 9-3 SE convertible with a 2.0 MT. I noticed that the battery cable is just hanging and the cable clamps are not attached to anything.
