The radio seems to have shorted out. Radio no longer turns on, and the turn signal no longer makes noise but still lights up. This is a 2003 saab 9-3 arc. I checked the fuses for the front dash and radio and they looked fine. Is there anything else I can check for a hopefully cheap fix?

Europarts .com columbus ohio very helpful with my 2000 turbo 93 radio pixels out bad easy fix after pullin unit out strips going tobboard dobthis quickly but not so long yu meltvthem back to board lightly with soldering iron press gently till they reseat to motherboard hot butter knife works to so yu can press flatter and control your heat so yu dont melt strips or make contact with anything else so no short outs all fixed pixels back!

Ok, those systems might still work because the not require as much energy as the starter. Check the Battery Voltage with a good Voltmeter. If below 12, there might be your problem!

Have the alternator output checked, these are symptoms of low system voltage.

A mechanic would disconnect the battery and check each circuit for a short to ground or a voltage draw with the key off.
Common problems are a light left on or a faulty relay.

I'd suggest using the balance and fade controls to cut out each speaker one by one. to possibly determine if you have shorted speaker or speaker wiring. As far as the turn signal clicking noise, the hazard switch is the actual flasher unit for the turn signals, and could be the culprit, but the most likely cause is the turn signal switch itself. It is usually caused by corrosion across the contacts, which can be cleaned out fairly easily, but more typically, the switch is just replaced

You have blown bulbs on a radio panel.Need to remove the radio,useing special 4 pins tool and change blown bulbs. 2-What about the steering wheel joystick-can you change from radio to cd? If so,problem in a contacts in switch.

Check your fuses first then check for loose wires. Good luck

Sounds like a blown fuse. Start by checking all fuses and replacing as needed.

Is your SAAB automatic? If so, it is most likely the Neutral Safety Switch. I have had the same problem, it is very common in automatic Saab 9-3 models made in 1999-2002.
