Hello Saabscene, I am looking to make the interior lights fade in and out when I open and shut the doors, as well as when I turn the switches in the car on and off. I have seen many analogue and digital DIY circuits online; but firstly, my brother thinks that our old (and now knackered) '89 9000...

Hi people, got my new bus the other week an 03 plated 02 model 2.0 9-5 Arc Auto Estate and have slowly been going through all the bits and pieces wrong with it. One of them is that the courtesy lights in the bottoms of the doors aren't working and neither are the foot well lights (the lights in...

I took my 9-3SS in to Bagnall Saab (Birmingham) yesterday and Ray lent me a 9-5 as a run around for the day. What great fun the auto is, especially with the S button. Most amusing. However, the 18.5mpg showing on the SID isn't quite as much fun, gulp. 109K miles and it goes like stink. All...

My 9-3 Convertible is in for a main service today at a nearby saab independant (ill let you know how i get on...) Anyway here's the courtesy car... :thumbsup:

My apologies for not getting any content up here before this, but sometimes work gets in the way. Today I had the distinct pleasure of actually going against the trend of the near future and interviewing people to give them a job. It feels nice to help. Anyway, as things get tighter, it’s...

Hi, Have just sold (part ex) my BMW 318 CI to buy a Saab 9-3 drop top. this is now sounding like a very bad move what with all the faults I'v just read about and now I'v just read that you dont get a courtesy car provide when you have warranty job's done. Tell me this is not true. Not to late...

its of no importance but its bugging me the door courtesy light drivers side will not work.no power too it.changed over units but nothing.does anyone know if these are served by independent relays and if so which is it.cant find any wiring problems mirrors,locks,windows all work fine. cheers

I took SWMBO's 9-3 into be repaired yesterday to a dealer I hadn't used for 5 years or so. Handed over keys and was a little disappointed to discover the courtesy car was a Fiesta. On my last visit, their courtesy car fleet were 9-3s. This got me thinking, the switch to cheap runabouts has I...

I just bought some courtesy light lenses from ebay but im guessing they must be off an older 9000 as they dont look the same as the ones on my97 9000 cse anyone know if they are different! and if they are anyone wanna swap?

I have finally taken delivery of a 1984/5 9005-door T8, and as you might expect a few things need sorting. Four of these were: the radio, aerial, interior light and clock would not work. Haviong checked the handbook, I discovered that one fuse controlled all of these - great I thought, chnage...

I have a strange problem with the rear right door on my 92 9000CS. The interior light intermittently comes on and off when I am driving and the open door display on the dashboard shows the door is open. This display shows the door is open all the time - it's not intermittent. I have looked at...

I have just noticed whist cleaning the aero today, that the rear door courtesy lights are not lit, are they or are they not supposed to be, or is this another one of these penny pinching options.

My 9-5 Aero is in for service, and I've got the above for a day. So far: Likes ----- Grunt (more than sufficient) Handling (better than mine) Economy Dislikes -------- Bit agricultural-sounding under the bonnet. Plain dash. No funky cupholder. If I could get this engine with the 9-3Aero...

The other day on the way home the interior light in my MY93 CSE suddenly switched itself on. Not what our American friends and enemies would call a Big Deal, you might say, but I fear the consequences may be serious (financially). As the light wouldn't go out when I told it to, I switched it...

Am I asking too much to expect a courtesy car from a Saab dealer while my car(s) are being serviced? I called today to book a service for Friday and was told 'sorry, we don't have any courtesy cars at all'. What's that about? I'm not expecting a brand new Saab or anything (although that's...

I've not driven a really small car for ages, so here are my impressions of the 1.0 VW Polo I have as a courtesy car while the VW main dealer doesn't change the Catalytic Converter they had said they would change under warranty! Very small car - didn't realise they still made cars so basic. It...
