  1. C900 Workshop
    Righto based of some other threads about the TSI socket and it's uses I've been conceptualising a TSI tool switch and meter box which has provision for the TSI functions, plus manual fuel pump switching (via the fuse/relay panel), along with a tach and battery volt gauge. I'm planning to have...
  2. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello, I am having an issue with my 2006 Saab 93 2.8T V6 Wagon. The car is telling me that I have "Steering Lock on - Please remove key and turn wheel" or something along those lines. The steering lock in fact is not on, I can turn the wheel freely in both directions. After a quick google I...
  3. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Context: So I've got a 2001 9-3 se 5dr with a blown engine and I recently just picked up a convertible of the same year with the intention of swapping engines and getting the first one running again. The 9-3 that I want to save also has a weird key thing where I have 2 keys: one for locks (fob...
  4. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Mechanic recommended me exchanging Iginition Cassette because the mileage of my OG93 was over 56000miles. I thought that disassenbling Iginition Cassette,exchanging some parts of it is cheeper than exchanging Iginition Cassette entirely (For instance,only ignition coils etc). In...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I have been having issues in my '08 93 where when the key is turned the car does not always start. When this happens, the starter does not engage at all. When the starter engages, the engine starts every time. I have also noticed that sometimes when the car starts, the radio does not turn on...
  8. 9000 Workshop
    I've got two 2-pole connectors that have a gray and white striped wire (along with a solid white wire) that start at the fuse for the igntion system. I'm installing the fusebox wiring harness, but I only see one matching connector that is at the end of the injector side of the harness. I can't...

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I've got a 2005 93 Linear which has a persistent ignition issue I can't fix. When driving the check engine light comes on and the boost is limited to about 1/2 way up the gauge. The codes are P0300 (random misfire) with P1342 and P1352 pending. It used to...

    I love my Saab 900 when it is sunny out. The turbo is a blast and the car was running like a top. I had the car serviced - new muffler. Drove it home great. Parked in the driveway, all good. I come back out to move it and it wouldn't start. There is gas in the car. After tinkering with it - I...
  12. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Oddly enough, the only ignition problems happens when the engine has been running, and is started back up. On a cold start, it turns over no problem. When the engine is warm, it will crank, and try to turn over, but stalls out and stops. I can audibly hear when it is not gonna work as the engine...
  13. C900 Workshop
    Hi, After finally managing to source all the parts to make up a new choke for my 900Gls, I spent yesterday fitting it. I found all the broken pieces of the last one inside the centre console. I think its the first time i've actually been able to start the car properly with the choke, and i'm...
  14. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello, Yesterday I was working and diagnosing a problem in the fuse box under the hood, which only 1 high beam would get power. I took the fuse box apart, and was working on it. The car ran and started fine. There was definitely a short. For the most part I worked with the fuse box unhooked...
  15. 9000 Workshop
    I've recently acquired a 1987 Saab 9000 Turbo. The distributor in the car is blown so we didn't bother turning the key when we looked at it. Once we dropped it off at home, I tried to at least get the engine to turn over, but when I put the key in, it wouldn't move at all. I jiggled the...
  16. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hi, I have replaced the ignition switch module that sits under the ignition barrel of my 9-3 OG. It took a few weeks to get the part and I have forgotten a few things so I have two main questions; Does anyone have relevant section of WIS they can send me or point me too, I cannot find anything...
  17. C900 Workshop
    I want to connect wires to switches instead of using the ignition switch. Ideally, I'd have three switches - power (on/off), start (momentary), and accessory (on/off). However, I'd be perfectly happy with just power and start switches. Although I have Bentley's and the ignition switch...
  18. C900 Workshop
    I'm cross-posting a thread from a different site in the hope of more activity here. Hope that's okay. Long story short, the wiring to the ignition and fuel pump have been mucked with. Badly. Long, long ago (after the ignition switch broke) a friend put in a contact switch and an off/on...

    2002 Saab 9-3 2.0 Hatchback SE Hey all, my car is an automatic transmission. Today I went to go to work, car starts up fine, but my gear selector is stuck in park and the button on the actual shifter is locked as well. Will not budge. I have checked the brake switch and the brake lights are...
  20. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So I was on my way to lunch today, drove out of the parking lot and then out of nowhere, the car suddenly died. I tried starting it, and it did once for a few seconds, then died again. After that, it would crank, but would not start. I checked the codes and they were "the usual" for this car...
