1996 Saab 900SE Turbo alternator??? battery? starter? Posted by juanm [Email] (#201) [Profile/Gallery] (more from juanm) on Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:34:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi
Another Saab, another problem ... not a good week.
Today my son's 19996 Saab 900 SE Turbo had the battery light go on, then the boing, boing, boing started and then the central alarm (the exclamation point in the middle of the triangle appeared.
The car was running fine, however.
Tonight I checked it out, sure enough all of the above but no central alarm light showed up. when I turned the key to start the engine there was a short scraping sound and then it started right away. The engine does sound slightly different with a shussing sound (or perhaps you might say it was a humming whining sound that isn't usually there)
So is it the alternator, the starter or both of these.
What is the typical cost for having this done?
Ideas???
(hmmm, definitely wondering how much more $$ I should put into this car especially since my 1999 Saab convertible has an electrical problem too right now - not a good week - already)
Thanks
