  1. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Hi all. My much loved convertible is doing great. When i lock the car and press the close button a second time, the horn gives me a little hunk, the red LED on top of the dashboard (directly under the rearview mirror) comes on. All ok so far. The other day i had left the window open and reached...
  2. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi - just wondering how easy this is on a car with a passenger airbag. Other posts say it's easier to remove glovebox to get the trim off, but I've got a scary airbag instead of a glovebox... Any tips welcome!
  3. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    The night time back-lighting on my dashboard wasn't working when I first got my car, yet tonight it started working while on my way home, unfortunately it was short lived and now they seem to be intermittently working, obviously a loose connection somewhere. Does anyone know what is likely to...

  6. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Someone has nicked a very small piece off the edge of the dashboard plastic right on the radio edge. Proabably finger nail damage. Does anyone know how this can be repaired or who could do it ? It is only a little bit, but since this is a new motor, then my eyes are drawn to it each time i am in...
  7. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi, I wonder if someone can advise me. I think I know the problem from looking on this forum but I need some advice. I am sure the clicking noise is something to do with the RECIRCULATION MOTOR because it appears directly related to pushing the said button on and off. I contacted a SAAB...

  9. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi all, have been thinking about changing the panel/dashboard lights on my 98' 95-SE from the boring 70's green to blue is this going to be an easy job or something a little more complicated? Any advice on order or removal/refit etc appreciated. Regards
  10. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I've just got a new 9-3 Convertible Diesel Auto, and am delighted with it, so naturally, in order to bond properly with my first new car I'd like to start taking it apart! Firstly I've got a GPS tracking unit which I'd like to ideally fit somewhere under the surface of the dashboard. Any tips...
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Driving back in the snow last week thinking how reliable the car has been and then an error light pops up on the dashboard! Typical ad spooky! Looked it up and it's the amber coloured one with arrows up/down with light through it. Seems to be Xenon system error. Where are the sensors for the...
  12. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Hi, I have a 2000 93 SE drop top, and also an annoying buzz from the dashboard.... It is there all of the time even when switched off, well, I think it is all of the time, it is there when I leave the car and also when I open the door. Not sure if it turns back on when I unlock the doors...
  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I have an annoying buzz coming from behind the "metallic" insert on my aero dashboard. It seems to come from somewhere between the top of the steering wheel and the instrument panel, since it stops if I press down on the horizontal plastic betwen the bottom of the speedo and the metallic insert...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Well, the rattles have begun to develop and one is driving me made. Sounds as if the centre dashboard speaker is loose and I'd like some advice on how easy it is to pop out the grill without marking anything? Any pics or techniques to help would be appreciated Thanks in advance, Mark
  15. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Having just bought my 1989 C900 convertible I find that none of the dash lights work. I have checked adjustment on the rheostat which makes no difference so can only assume at this point that the bulbs have blown. I believe access can be gained through the RHS front speaker cover (removing...
  16. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Yet everything seems to work fine. The car brakes well in a straightline without lockup. I took the car to Wes at Nottingham Saab who said the abs module wouldn't speak with his code reader so he wasn't able to see if there were any fault codes. He's only had that happen once before so it...
  17. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi all At a recent service the mechanic pointed out that he thinks he can hear a vacuum leak. After driving the car for a while and listening carefully I can hear it (now sounds quite loud now that I've heard it once) and it sounds like it is coming from behind the drivers consol....possibly...
  18. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    The illumination for the bottom part of the dash (autobox gear indicator, temp display etc) has been dim for a while. I have replaced the LDR in the EDU, and things have improved, but more so with the EDU display, not much with the lower dash display. This leads me to wonder whether I am short...
