Same happens to both our Saabs, even when it's not so cold - believe it or not. One is an 86 900 8v (Original alternator)and the other a 91 16v. I suspect it's some thing to do with the voltage regulator built into the alternators, because once the light goes out it stays out even at idle. Doesn't make any difference if the headlights are on or off, but does if the HRW is on, probably a load thing.I don't worry about it Malc Scotland In article <20000213133501.01116.00000647nopsamd1.aol.com>, mcbagpipernopsamcom (McBagpiper) wrote: > The battery light stays on in my 92 900s for 15-30 seconds depending on how > cold it is.
