SAAB 9-3 radio problems

You're a bit vague about the problem mate. Does the radio pick up AM or LW? Not sure what country you're in. Does the radio actually go? Check the aerial connections. Is this car imported from another country with different frequencies? You may need a band expander if this is the case.

try going to a saab dealer and ask if a merchanic could give a bit of free advice an where the onstar cpu is.

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!

Kind of an odd problem. This may be off in a different direction but I had an 78 BMW that the left turn signal did the same thing .It turned out to be the hazard light switch had a short in it. The problem was intermittent and very frustrating. The fix was a trip to the junk yard for a set of rims and the switch was a freebie. Don't know if this will help but I guess it can't hurt.

I have SAAB 9-3, TiD 2.2, 2001 year and my problem is next:Leterrs on my display computers are fading and disappear, so I cant see/read any information on it. Please help.

Call a SAAB Dealer

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.

take the vehicle to your nearest saab dealer and ask for a diagnostic scan, yuo have a sensor failure, if left it could be expensive.
