This is a cartalk type puzzler... On a very very cold day I started my 1999 Saab 9-3 normally and drove 30 miles with some uneventful stops. Then the Climate COntrol turned OFF and the ABS light came on. After a while of driving the amplifier of the radio cut out and then came back... Airbag light finally came on.... dim break warning light. intermittent ABS light... no correlation to driving speed. When I got home, car would not even crank... Suspecting either battery failure form the cold or a bad alternator I installed a new battery. Car started and acted normal. AOK. When I came back 12 hours later to test the battery/alternator with a Voltmeter the battery was dead. 1.5v on the meter. The car was off and there were not lights left on. Alternator short? Anybody have any thoughts or clues? Thanks! -ed email: saabnet@edtrain.com thanks!
