I have had the dreaded "Steering lock malfunction, make a safe stop" become more and more frequent. This past couple of weeks it's been extraordinarily bad. I almost got stranded because it wouldn't take the key ever. So I did some research and found some good material on opening up the ISM...

Hi, ive just got a new starter motor installed. Me and a friend did it, and it now starts perfectly. But after this, the park heater worked for one day, and then stopped working. It only flashes one time at the dash when it’s supposed to start, and then nothing happens. Have tried manual start...

Hello! I've recently changed on my car (9-5 Z19DTH 2006) mass air flow sensor, coolant thermostat, egr and egr cooler and cleaned some sludge from the engine bay compartment. But after 3 months of waiting for parts (UPS F****D up my delivery) and finally being done I've now got a fault code...

Hello all! I am having an issue with my 08 9-3 giving me steering lock malfunction and airbag malfunction warnings on the dash. I am also having issues with my ignition switch sticking, and from what I have read, the above problems could be because of the switch going out. Would replacing or...

I cannot start my 2008 a e r o. I switched out a battery while it was running and when I shut it off I could not start it and that was a year ago and I've had many people look at it that can't figure it out. I will gladly buy some kind of diagnostic device I just don't know what to get. Would...

Hello everyone. Im having a really bad time with my saab 9-3. The problem is that while im driving everything on the dashboard goes crazy. I mean all the gauges (SID,RPM,speedo,fuel and temp) going off and on. I've changed the BCM, the rear and front fuse boxes, the cluster and still nothing...

Hi all, My lovely 1997 900 went over a speed bump and the engine cut out. My mechanic has checked the ignition and fuses and can't find anything wrong. We think it might be fuel pump relay but he's not keen on anything electrical. Is there anybody with a Tech 2 in the area of Radcliffe...

Morning all, I drive a 2000 9-3. Yesterday while on the highway I started getting a jerking motion as I would accelerate like power would come and go. Right before I broke down I lost my rear light and the blinkers stopped working. As I pulled into my parking space the car stalled out...

Hey I have a08 aero fwd that is having a issue with the ac and rad fans not working. If I jump the relay the ac works fine so it’s something with the control. I noticed that the rad fan hasn’t been turning on. And after a hard drive when I stop I heard it boiling in the overflow. The fan should...

I am thinking of putting on an electric cutout on my '03 9-3 2.0t. The only spot that I could really put it is after the resonator but I'm afraid that it will dampen the turbo sound. I'm also worried about wiring it to the fuse box and blowing a fuse but if I were to wire it to the battery then...

I have the stock radio in my car but want a touch screen aftermarket deck to be installed. With that being said, I use my information option daily and I don’t want to loose the options for the info that appears on my dash (low on coolant or headlight bulb out) or the regular time and fuel...

So there seems to be a few problems with the car like dashboard lights won't work like the handbrake and others located in this bubble area. The Back right hand side door won't open it did for about 4 times and then stopped. The Driver window is half alive but this could be a motor and...

2001 9-3 Viggen 3dr hatchback: pretty sure my passenger window switch is messed up, and so I’m trying to manually gap the female connector in the center console to roll it up. Picture included, if anyone can tell me which pin goes to which. Already picked the WIS and EPC for info, nothing there...

It's a long story that - I think - ends with me replacing my alternator. As it sits, the battery in my unstarted car (1990 900 vert) reads 12.05 volts. When I start it and measure the battery voltage running, it's still 12.05. If it runs for a few minutes or if I go down the road a mile and come...

So when I start my 1990 900 spg cold, the revs stay relatively low but still around 1,100. As the car warms up it can sometimes get as high as 2,100 but almost always stays around 1,700 once the engines been running. Also, I can't confirm this entirely or even know if this relates to the...

So the wires leading to the throttle position sensor have corroded to the point that I can't even solder the wires reliably. The three prong plug connecting to the throttle position sensor works fine but the wires need to be replaced or fixed some how. The attached picture shows where the...

Hi everyone, After replacing my head gasket, I'm having an issue where the car idles high, getting worse as it gets to operating temp, where the idle speed starts jumping. I've also noticed that the jumping stops when aircon is turned on (even though the compressor clutch doesn't work). I...
