If you look back through this NG, I think you'll agree that it has a lot of competent, sharing participants. I've learned that when asking, one needs to be quite specific, but then an answer or two with a probable fault cause will show upfairly quickly. These guys care. As for the cause of your problem, I'd like to offer a wild guess based on experience with a '84 C900. I had intermittent charging problems, and tore out a bit of hair locating the reason, as all voltages looked fine. Then I connected the ground lead of my voltmeter to chassis ground instead of alternator ground. Interesting.... Tightened the bolt holding the alternator adjustment bracket, and voila... Dunno if you shiny new '97 looks anywhere near the same under the hood/bonnet, but anyway :) Welcome in the ranks of SAAB fans - and no, SAABS aren't for anyone... regards Per '95 9000CSE 2.3LPT
