SOURCE: 1994 Saab 900 S convertible running hot

You don't say whether your electric fans both work...

First, check fuses #25 and #6 (both 30 amp)

There is a fan thermoswitch is on the left side of the rad. Turn the ignition on, and after pulling back the boot, short across the two terminals with a screwdriver.

If the fan runs, fan and wiring are both good, but thermoswitch might be faulty.

If fan only runs when thermoswitch is shorted like this, switch needs to be replaced (I strongly recommend that you get the low temp switch to prevent overheating - your temp gauge will not go over the middle position even on the hottest days; also get a low temp thermostat,and ALWAYS get a Saab stat, not an after market one! The SAAB stats are three position, and most after market ones aren't)

if the fan doesn't run when switch is shorted, check for voltage between green wire and ground at the switch.

Voltage indicates faulty fan, if no voltage then check the fan relay J in the main fuse box for the A/C rad fan, and also check relay G - it's for the rad fan.

Hope this helps!

1988 Saab 900 Turbo runs perfect until it rains. Then it will hesitate and stall if I do not keep my foot on the gas. When it stalls it back fires slightly when trying to restart. I have changed out the...

Did you put plug wire grease on the ends of the wires? especially at the distrib. end. If it has a distributor, check the cap for cracks. One good test is to use a spray bottle, and spray the plug wires, the distributor, and see if the rpm changes. It shouldn't. If it does, you should be able to see a spark jumping someplace, and probably hear it as well

WHITE SMOKE COMING IN VENTS INSIDE CAR. SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL BURNING. 1996 SAAB 900 SE. ROOF LEAKS WHEN RAINS INFRONT OF LATCH RELEASE COMES DOWN TOP WINDOWS, BASICALLY FRONT PART OF THE CAR.

sounds like your heater core has a leak in it. take your sunroof off and get some rubber revitalizer at a glass shop. Try cleaning it and using the rubber rejuvenator on it.
