check all grounds

Wink sez: You don't specify whether it is a hatchback or sedan. The sedans (and convertibles) have a problem with the ground from the taillight cluster to the body. There are several web pages dedicated to how to add a ground wire from the taillight assembly to the body.

How do you remove key from ignition on 1989 Saab sedan?

== == Place SAAB in reverse gear to remove the key easily. The SAAB must be in reverse before you can remove the key, otherwise the battery will drain. It's a manufacture design. REPAIRS BELOW, IF NEEDED: Though you don't specify, it will be presumed that the key was inserted into the ignition switch and now will not withdraw. There were probably plenty of signs that this was imminent, such as difficulty inserting the key or the switch sticking in the START position. This is because dirt or sticky liquids often fall into the switch due to its location between the seats. (A safety feature, as the key will not jam into the driver's knee in a severe accident.) OTOH, the switch may have just worn out, as a 19 year old car is considered ancient by most terms. (I drive a 1987 Saab 900 with only 196K mi, and it runs better than most cars half its age.) First try squirting a penetrating oil such as Liquid Wrench or WD-40 into the key slot. This may free up the mechanism enough to withdraw the key. If that doesn't work, you will need to remove the center console. Details may be found in any good Saab 900 manual, but in brief: 1) Remove the driver's seat (may need an Allen-head wrench). 2) Remove any screws/bolts holding the shifting machanism into place. 3) Using the special 3-lobed socket, remove the 3-sided nuts that hold the metal box that contains the ignition switch. 4) Clean or replace the old switch. 5) Reassemble.


How much should it cost to replace Saab 900 alternator?

Prices are between and around, $120 - $170. Check out the Web Links for more information.This is for a rebuilt alternator. New ones can cost over $300. I got an estimate of $600 from a dealership. Replacing the alternator should take 2 - 3 hours @ $70 per hour. Best case scenario you'll spend $300 for a rebuilt alternator and the labor.
