  1. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Is it a direct swap of a SID and Radio/CD player on a 1995 900SE from a 1999 9-3 SE? The only difference appears to be that the 95 has a analog clock on the SID where 99 has digital. And radio/cassette player on 95 would be replaced by a radio/CD player. All OEM. Thanks
  2. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Is there a repair for for the actual LCD screen on SID and Climate displays? I've replaced ribbon cables in the past, but I'm not trying to fix dead pixels, I'm trying to fix LCD screen "bleed." I know BBA Reman does some repairs, but it seems like it's only ribbon repairs and not replacement...
  3. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Strange problem here. Details: Car has stood all winter (with a solar battery top-up panel on the dash). I would occaisionally start it up, but didn't bother for a couple of months. Tried it recently, battery too low. Removed battery and fully charged. Left battery out of car for several days...
  4. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello Forum, After much looking in the forums regarding my 2006 9-5 2.3L baby, I feel stumped ( 'confused' - 473 posts come up searching for SID ) so here is my request for guidance, not for an SID that's missing pixels - just the entire dash acting whacky - then she won't start up unless I let...

    I've driven my 9-3 (2.8, not sure if it calculates differently than the 2.0) for about ~100 miles and the gas mileage on the SID is reading around 5 MPG, while my gas gauge has gone from about ¾ to ½. This MPG figure isn't true of course, I haven't gone through 20 gallons of fuel (in my ~17...

    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...
  7. 9-5 Workshop
    There are two issues I have with the SID: the beeps are too quiet my SID sounds like a crow that's been strangled. Sucks. That's why I came up with this thought...
  8. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi, My 2003 9-5 with paddle shifters was all good until I sent away my SiD to be repaired. The guy had all sorts of personal issues and it was delayed so he just sent me another one. It is throwing a transmission light on the dash and the paddle shifters no longer work. I've read this can be...
  9. 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...
  10. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi, I changed my SID and it is throwing a P0826 code orange Transmission light Low Coolant Fluid From other threads it seems I have put the incorrect SID in. The glass and ribbon on my original broke. Is it likely to sort itself after a number of on/offs or will I need to get another SID...
  11. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Two issues I'm having, one is my top hasn't worked for a while, I replaced one of the hydraulic lines that was leaking about a year ago thinking that would fix it which it did not. I'm no longer able to put the top back manually seeing as the back doesn't unlatch when I try to press the switch...
  12. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    A CD got stuck in my stock stereo, so I had an aux adapter installed that I can plug my iphone into. Shortly after, my car battery died (possibly due to a bad tail light ground). When I replaced my battery, the SID and all sounds, and my dash lights were out, except lights flashing on a bit...
  13. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello all, I suppose that in this case model does not matter since SID1/2 was installed in different models. Anyway, in my Saab 9-5 2003 I have SID1 with OpenSID enabled. Since SID1 has only CLEAR UP/DOWN buttons and no SET button i do not know how to change MODE parameter in order to get acces...
  14. 9-5 Workshop
    Hello! I bought a 2001 Saab 9-5 a few months ago. I noticed that the SID was showing 50*C and figured out I had to replace the sensor. I bought a new sensor and installed it. Now the sid shows ———. I have recalibrated the ACC after replacement and it showed no fault codes during the process. Any...
  15. New Member Introductions
    Long time Saab Lover, first time owner! I just purchased a 1999 9-3 Convertible, and I've got my Haynes manual, but hoping to utilize the Saab knowledge in forum for some of the more interesting hiccups along the way. So far all the work I've done consists of oil change (mobil 1), with K&N...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could ask for your help in diagnosing problems with my 2004 Saab 9-3's SID and radio. I don't know much about cars except for a general idea on how they run and where to turn my wrench. I bought this Saab a while back and the SID and radio didn't work. I had no...
  17. 9-5 Workshop
    Hi all, I've read through as much as I can on the forums and within WIS, but I can't wrap my head around this one. I'm getting the "Service Theft Alarm" message on the SID every time I start the car. I'm also unable - 95% of the time - to unlock my doors with my remote key; I have to go...
  18. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    I have a '95 900 S convertible project with just 52,500 miles, but with a few gremlins. The SID is completely dead, including the clock & Black Panel buttons. Nothing functions. However, the buttons & clock light do light up when the car's lights are on - but it takes a few minutes for it to...
  19. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hello everyone, Now that I have your attention, the SID on my 2004 9-3 sedan has lost about 99% of its functionality. It still displays the date and speed warning but that's all. Everything else, including radio information is gone. Also, when I enter the menu, all I see are sold...
  20. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    I've seen several threads on this topic but I have not found the answer. I have a 2004 9-3 and the backlights on and around the radio/AC/headlight switch are on during the day, but completely dark at night. If i cover the sensor on the SID during the day, the lights go out. Is the sensor in...
