Subject: Re: Chronicle of a new Saab Owner


epugh1, I have a '96. Verify that the ACC comes back with no error codes. The test procedure is outlined in the car owner's manual. Mine has had this replaced 2 times and I do not know why. Apparently, it may fail when the car is jumped. I guess the warning is to not jump it or hook a charger to it while the battery is connected to the car. I find this really odd that it is not too robust. Common items which need replacement are the alternator and the air conditioner compressor. The ACC makes the compressor run ALOT and it does have a finite life. If it is noisy, you may see if you can get the dealer to replace it. I would also have him check the health of the charging system as well. My only complaint is that the clutch is a bit too stiff for me. Otherwise it is a comfortable car with nice appointments.
