Subject: Re: dead battery problem


I know exactly how you feel. I had/have the same problem with my 91 900S; you'll also notice it's worse when it's humid. I discovered the cause of the problem one night when I found the garage light was on at 3 am. when I went down to turn it off I discovered that it's the SAAB. Yes ALL the external lights were on; I mean ALL THE LIGHTS (except the backup lights!). After laborious work I traced the problem to a short in the area around the wires to the light switch (the rotary knob that controls lighting). I did change the switch and the problem almost disappeared (it happened only once after that). That's why I said "had/have" at the beginning of this message. Hope this helps, and if you can pin point the exact cause please let us know.
