First thing to look at is the fuse box located underneath the drivers side steering wheel. Open up the cover and on the backside is a diagram. Look on this diagram and it will show you what fuse controls the convertible top. Replace the fuse and now try to use the auto switch. After you replace the fuse and it still don't work then you will need to replace the tonneau top motor. Click on the link below to view a replacement for your 1998 Sabb 900

Clean the present oil off with brake cleaner spray. Then make sure everything is wiped clean. Start it up and while its running check for small cracks where the oil drain plug is located. Sometimes when the oil plug is threaded back in, people torque it down to tight causing the pan to develop hair line fractures in the pan. I'm assuming your talking about the oil pan drain plug? Also look for trails oil oil that may have come from somewhere above and trailed down to the area you are looking at.

it could be one of three things which are to be checked
1) low hyd fluid.
2)a broken micro switch.
3) a sheer pin missing.-------------------- Do you hear anything, like a pump or motor running? If not, I would start by checking the fuses. Next, I would probe the wiring harness to the motor with a voltmeter, checking for voltage with the switch is depressed. Then look for obvious fluid leaks.
the fluid can be checked from the right side of the trunk, under an access panel. --------------- Check and lubricate your trunk lid latch. Spray with wd40, or equivalent over there.if this the same problem then it may be bad trunk lid alignment or something, because the trunk latch (the one that rests in the lid) has two screws, one of which seems to have been moved out of its place------- you van try this ,,,, waggle the 2 parts of the boot latch together (and get them to fit together into the closed state), and then you have to open the roof halfway, so that the boot lid is upright, to be able to see what was going on at the latch.
Then slightly loosen the 2 cross head screws securing the part of the latch that is mounted in side the boot, and juggle it about until the 2 parts of the latch fit into each other properly.
To test opening and shutting the lid in course of all this, you need to return the lid temporarily to its normal closed position, with its front edge down against the front edge of the boot, and to do so you have to disconnect the 2 rams from the lid temporarily: to do so is easy- just lever up the little hinge clips at the place where the rams join the lid, and fold the rams out of the way so that you can shut the boot, holding the front edge of the lid down.
All the best, and be careful that the roof doesn't come down while your head is inside the boot. Keep a close eye on it, and maybe use a wedge to hold it up,. This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

the dealer can give you the code. just give them a call and give them the numbers that theyask for and they usually produce the code right away.

The codes are not for the Saab but for the radio.
You need to take the radio to a dealer of that brand of radio. There is not just one brand that can be installed by Saab. a Saab dealer can help, but none of us can, because each radio has its own code. But a dealer has the tools to reset it.

Hate to tell you but your gonna have to redo everthing you did and recheck the speedo cable. Make sure you didn't stripe it or the gears inside the speedo and make sure its correctly installed and not kinked anywhere.
Now for the real scary part the other end of this cable goes into the transmission's output shaft. If you find that the cable's end at the speedo gauge and the gauge its self is a-ok ...then you have to inspect the cable at the tranny end and the gear it goes to. If cable is worn no big deal ( you buy a new cable and install) but if gear is worn Uh.. have to replace outputshaft on tranny to repair gear.
I'm hoping you didn't correctly install cable on speedo.
Good luck

Fold rear seat forward
