  1. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello everyone! I have been doing some parasitic draw diagnostics on my 08 9-3 and came to fuse #2 located behind the driver door fuse compartment. The fuse is for the ignition switch and CIM modules. Are there any further diagnostic steps of the modules besides throwing parts at it? Thank you...

    The issue is with my brother's car, 2004 9-3 Aero. The wiper fluid doesn't spray out onto the windshield or the headlights, pump will not activate. Also the wiper blades work but do not reset themselves to the bottom position when you turn the wipers off, have to manually stop them in the...

    So the unfortunate lost all keys to my 9-3 has happened. I am aware that I need an existing key to program a new one. My question is that if the alarm is triggered can I still program a new CIM to it? (I have a tech 2)

    So i have a 2006 9-3 2.0T, and after getting my car detailed my indicator is constantly signaling left in the neutral position and i have no right turn indicator. Brought it to the Saab dealer and they said they cant find a new CIM, or a used one with keys, and the only way to put a used CIM in...
  5. Tech II Workshop
    Hey guys, I am losing my mind over here. I have tried multiple times to add my new CIM to the car (with belonging key) but it fails everytime. I get past all the checks and questions but after that, when it's saying "Writing Configuration", it then tells me to remove key, place key, remove key...

    Ive been having wiper issues since day one, and after a CIM swap (from a junkyard) my blinkers work, but my wipers still have the same issue. Ive taken the staulk off and cleaned connection to no success. The middle setting has no difference from the first one, and the third setting works. When...

    Hi folks, bought my first Saab last year, a 2010 9-3 Ttid4 diesel estate and I'm loving it. My first MOT is coming up and I have the dreaded "stability control failure" message coming up on start up, car drives fine, no noticeable difference. Does anyone know if this is an MOT failure? (it only...

    Hey all, Been dealing with a parasitic draw from Fuse #2 in the dash fuse box. The draw goes from 170mA to 20mA when fuse is removed. I’m going to pull the connector out of ISM tomorrow to see if it’s that or CIM. Has anyone had this drain? If it’s the CIM I have no idea where to begin so any...

  10. Tech II Workshop
    2005 9-3 2.0T Sedan A/T A couple weeks ago I received the "Steering Lock Malfunction..." warning message. I am unable to turn the key at all. The car sat for 6 weeks while I was away so I assumed it was battery related although battery was only 2 years old. I replaced with a new battery with no...
  11. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hopefully this is ok to put here, I was personally in a situation needing Saab keys a couple years ago and dealer is outrageous. If anyone needs a key for 03-09 at least you can ship me CIM module and I can flash in a new key for $200 (negotiable), with me supplying the "gummy" remote head key...

    Greetings My 2005 9-3 2.0T Arc 135,000mi has a "Steering Lock Malfunction Make a Safe Stop Contact a Saab Dealer" message. I bought the car recently as a project car and I was really hoping to get it fixed up a little cheaper than its currently going. I'm getting close to spending too...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I've been searching the forum and trying to figure out what it might be but I am not having much luck. It all started last Tuesday on my way to work. I was sitting in traffic and my gauges all froze, ABS light, Traction Control Light, Brake Light, AC quit working and Check Engine light all came...

    All the audio controls on the steering wheel work besides the horn. All the buttons were tested with Tech 2. Also the wipers, indicators and indicator sound works. With Tech you can force the relay to activate and the horns work. There was sound. So the problem is between the wheel and the...

    Hello everyone, i own a 2004 9-3 Sedan 1.8t. Lately it has been acting very strange. The computer switches off randomly during driving. That means the dials go to 0 and the displays all switch off. After a couple of seconds it switches back on as if nothing happened. Also random error are...
