I've had quite an ongoing ordeal with this particular vehicle, and I am determining whether or not I want to continue to put any more time and effort into it.
The most recent ordeal was, here: https://www.saabcentral.com/threads/dead-battery-and-now-no-crank-start.726562/page-2#post-6422144
The most resilient issue I am seeing now, after searching, is something I was dealing with, almost three YEARS ago, and I've towed it more, moving, that I have been able to drive it.
I replaced the TCM with a used one, still no communication. I understand the ABS/ESP errors are very likely due to a bad ABS module, but, I am not going to bother trying to replace that if I have an unidentifiable short in the harness.
I haven't found anything but I am hoping that someone else has dealt with this communication issue and maybe there is a common place to look for a short.
If it is indeed some aberrant anomaly, I am likely to either part the car out or, scrap it entirely.
As for just randomly searching for a short wire by wire, I wouldn't even know where to start.
At the end of my rope with this car. I really want to keep it but it's just taking up space and is only a source of great frustration at this point.
It's not a flood car.
There is no visible damage from what would appear to be rodents or anything like that.
I really hope someone has something I can go on.
Thanks.
