Saab problems Well when I start the car up, the brake fluid light comes on and the anti lock brake comes on. When this happens my windows don't go up or down and the seat doen't work either. Sometimes the the brake fluid light and the anti lock brake goes off and then all the electrial things work again. Can you help me fix this problem?????

SOURCE: Window wiper problem

Hello I have a saab 9.3 SS 04 and had the same problem.

- intermittent wipe doesn't work, at all
- windscreen washers don't work, at all
- "normal" continuous, and fast wipe work, but the wipers
freeze in the middle of the windscreen if you let go of the
control stalk, rather than sweeping back to the resting position
- same "freeze" happens with the manual wipe (push down on the control stalk)

The weird thing is that, this morning, for about 10 minutes, it seemed to fix itself,
partially - the washers started working etc - but the intermittent wipe still didn't work. However not long after that it went back to the symptoms described above.
also if I unplugged my car battery for a minute the washers worked for several seconds but again same problem occurs.

Solution is to replace your wiper motor. its that "simple"
worked for me. The wiper motor has a lot of electronic stuff and seems to control the washer engine.
Good luck.

I have this problem too and my new Saab mechanic told me that I would probably need a new instrument cluster. He said a brand new one costs $2500 but that he would order me a used one from a car that had fewer miles than mine as you can set them back but not forward. He both diagnosed and temporarily "fixed" the problem by slamming his hand really hard on the dash over the panel and all the lights and gauges immediately started working fine....for now. I haven't had the work done yet (I have a 1998 Saab 900S with 130K) so if anyone has any other ideas about this I would love to know what they are. This issue with the gauges and dash lights has been happening on and off for over a YEAR and this is the first time someone has had any idea what it is. I already had my ignition switched replaced so we know that's not what it was. THANKS

SOURCE: anti lock brake light on brake fluid is fine

The fluid being low will not cause the abs light to come on.You have to get the codes read to find out what is causing the light to come on.Usually a wheel speed sensor or wiring.If you don`t get the code you won`t find the problem.There are 4 wheel speed sensors.So get the code and save yourself some time and money.Hope this helps.Good luck.
