Saab has no power/electricity

Assuming the battery is ok, no electricity is reaching the car circuits. First thing I would check is to make sure that your battery connections are good and tight. Next item is the battery properly grounded to chassis? If so, they you will have to get a schematic to trace the wiring and see just where the flow of electricity can be interrupted.

My 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe,has started overheating when stopped for any length of time,drive thru for food,traffic jam,etc.Cools down once moving again.Ideas??Thx in advance for your help

The electric fans operate when the coolant temperature reaches a certain level. There is a temperature sensor that triggers the fan operation. If the sensor is faulty or has failed completely the electric fan will not start.
That is the first place to look if you have checked both the fuse and the relay that covers the fan. You have not mentioned the relay but if that is faulty the fan will not work either.
Check your owners manual. That will show you the location of the relays (as well as all the fuses).

Do not delay getting the problem addressed by a competent professional as allowing the engine to overheat WILL cause very expensive engine damage (such as blown cylinder head gasket and a cracked cylinder head) which will be many,many times in repair and parts costs over the cost to you to fix the issue with the cooling fan.

When it rains my car cuts in and out "BUT" when its not raining i can rive threw puddles without it cuting in and out.

When it is raining the water is coming in through the radiator and is causing electrical shorts in the ignition system. Use a water repellent spray (silicon spray) on everything related to the ignition (HT leads plug lead rubbers ) coils and distributor cap if applicable. When you drive through puddles the water is deflected into the mudguards and is not likely to reach the engine compartment.

Obviously water is the cause. Make sure all hood seals and underbody splash shields are in place, check firewall main connector for security. After it rains (without driving it in rain) check floor mats inside for water. A possible windshield or dash leak is allowing water into electrical area near instrument cluster (windshield may need resealed). Lift hood and look for water on any electrical connections disconnect dry, and seal with tune up grease from parts store.
Good luck

This could be fuel not reaching the injectors. Check for a clogged fuel filter or fuel lines. Dirty or clogged fuel injectors. Also difficulty starting after rain can be caused from old plug wires. I hope this helps.
