08 Saab 9 7 x how to disable door and seatbelt chime

Disabling the door and seatbelt chime in a 2008 Saab 9-7X typically requires accessing the vehicle's computer system to adjust the settings. However, it's important to note that tampering with safety features like seatbelt reminders may not be legal in some jurisdictions, and it can also pose a safety risk. If you're still determined to disable the chime, here are some general steps you might follow:
  1. Consult the Owner's Manual: The owner's manual may contain information on how to adjust the chime volume or disable it. It's always a good idea to start here to see if there are any manufacturer-approved methods.
  2. Check for Dedicated Fuses or Relays: Some vehicles have dedicated fuses or relays for the chime system. You could potentially remove or disable these components to silence the chime. However, be aware that this may also affect other systems in the vehicle.
  3. Use a Diagnostic Tool: Modern vehicles often have customizable settings accessible through the onboard diagnostic (OBD) port. A diagnostic tool compatible with your vehicle might allow you to access these settings and disable the chime. However, this may require specialized knowledge and equipment.
  4. Visit a Dealership or Automotive Technician: If you cannot disable the chime on your own or are concerned about potentially causing damage to the vehicle, consider visiting a dealership or automotive technician. They may be able to adjust the settings for you or offer alternative solutions.
  5. Consider Aftermarket Solutions: There are aftermarket devices available that claim to disable seatbelts and door chimes. However, their effectiveness and legality may vary, so proceed with caution if you choose this route.
Before proceeding with any method to disable the chime, carefully consider the potential consequences and whether it's worth the risk. It's also important to remember that seatbelt reminders are a safety feature designed to encourage proper seatbelt usage, which can save lives in the event of an accident.

I have a 2002 saab 9-5 i ran it for 20 min it ran fine then it ran out of gas. the next day I put some gas in it an¹d now it starts and dies immediately does anybody have any idea what could be wrong

Sounds like there is either a fuel pressure issue or fuel volume problem. If it ran entirely fine before running out of gas, it's possible the pump was damaged either due to lack of lubrication or sediment pulled from the tank. It's also possible debris can be clogging the fuel lines or filter/injectors, etc. Get your fuel pressure tested to see if it's within the correct psi spec both at idle and while at speed of 1,500-2,000 RPM and at wide open throttle.

1998 Saab 900SE Turbo. It keeps frying alternators. How do I test for a faulty ground wire?

Why would you think the ground wire is faulty? But if you want to test it, put one multimeter probe on the ground wire and one on the chassis of a lot attached to the chassis. You need an auto electrician. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

1998 Saab 900SE Turbo. My Central Warning Light, my ABS light, and my automatic climate control system shut down all at the same time.

Question edited for clarity, presumably this is a Saab, tossed in a few CAPS. Question moved from 'Crl Automotive Vehicle Parts & Accessories' category to 'maker, year, model. Yes it is a big deal, that sounds like a major meltdown.

OBD II do not read my SAAB 2001 9-3 problem, only error messages. My fuse OK but no electrical voltage between #4 and #16. P.S.

WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS, obd2 IS 1996 UP usa this forum is seen WWW, all over the world, so what country is yours UK, or India or ? AND 2007 UP IN OTHERS, OR HIGHER. IS THIS CAR GAS(PETROL) OR DIESEL FUELED? DOES IT CRANKS FAST AND NOT START OR DOES NOT CRANK AT ALL OR JUST CLICKS OR CHATTERS. WE SURE CANT HEAR IT FAIL HERE, IN THE BLIND.(+DEAF) 9-3 NINE - THERE HAD 5 ENIGINE NEW, 4GAS AND 1 DIESEL. WE CAN NOT GUESS ENGINES. IN USA 2 ENGINES ONLY BOTH GAS, 2.0 AND 2.3L both turbo. both run strange huge 4 coil integrated coil pack. tricky to test like that. so now I go generic. if it does not crank there are 6 to 10 cause of dead starter motor if it does crank fast there are up to 50 causes, it will not start,run or stay running. oK, so which is it. what is P.S and the two numbers mean<> 4 and 16, is this a fuse? OBD2 on the usa car , needs modern scan tool, not 1996 versions USA cab fuse4 is Trunk light; switch illumination; electrically powered radio antenna fuse 16 is:Electrically operated front seat, left so are not it. engine bay fuses 4 = vacuum pump 16= no such fuse. 15 is max. but what is P.S, power steering? fuse 13 cab blown makes the oBD2 scanner post pin16 dead, no 12vdc there. 13= radio + diagnostics. makes scan tool dead too on most scan tools made OBD2. some fuses only go hot if key is on. some only go hot, if the named device on the fuse is enabled, some are hot all the times like head lamps and more. the service manual covers all that. but I have no access to one (sad face) now for SOUND the sound of a good fast starter cranking a dead engine. https://freesound.org/people/drdeath666/sounds/687447/ first answer that.

My 2003 Saab stock stereo works, so does the clicking sound when u signal, 3 speakers in dash panel works 2 speakers in the back works. But the 2 on the front doors aren't. Help fix

Could be either, a setting on stereo head unit, fader may have been turned so that sound is just coming from select speakers. Or could be your front speakers are not wired up or there is a fuse blown. Note: clicking from turn signal does not come from stereo speakers.

06 saab 9-3 2.0t headlight relay location

2006 SAAB. NO PROBLEM TOLD AT ALL just another endless hunt. head lamps fail on ON and in AUTO mode? lows and high beams all fail>? welcome to where-is-dot-com first off on newer cars there is no relay , BCM does the magic./ or the relay is for auto sun sensing only. does the car drive ok in the day? all electrics work? but heads. does car have DRL or auto sun head lamp feature? I will answer for USA cars, other countries lighting laws are not like ours. and no VIN or country told at all USA answer 1. check all fuses. scan the PCM the OBD2 port under dash with a scan tool and see BCM errors for head lamps. old cars had relays or only for DRL. newer cars the BCM uses a high power electronic driver (FET based) to run lamps. (vast in car) A BCM may run every lamp in the car ,not cluster. get your service manual for the car and read head lamp tests there. and the schematic. ours is missing here online. fuse 15 heads relay 14? seen here, random country there. https://www.autogenius.info/saab-9-3-2006-fuse-box-diagram/ first google hit but it is just a guess it matches any countries version of this car.

I recently purchased a 2008 Saab 9-3 but the owner didn't have the original key so do I need to purchase a new immobilizer as well as a new key!

No just a new key / keys. The key talks to the immobilizer and sets you up. Make sure you get two keys, have them cut and then both paired to the immobilizer module. You just need a good auto-locksmith.. Never end up with only one key and then no keys. And no you can't bypass the immobilizer, especially on a Saab!

1986 Saab 900. "Park Light" comes on and windows, hvac, turn signals, wipers stop working. Occasionally if I fill the brake fluid reservoir the light goes out and stuff starts works. Thoughts?

It sounds like there may be an electrical issue with your 1986 Saab 900 that is causing the "Park Light" to come on and disabling some of the electrical components in the vehicle. The fact that filling the brake fluid reservoir sometimes resolves the issue suggests that there may be a problem with the brake fluid level sensor or the wiring associated with it. Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the brake fluid level: Make sure the brake fluid level is within the recommended range. If the fluid level is low, try filling it to the recommended level and see if that resolves the issue. If the fluid level is already at the recommended level, move on to the next step.
  2. Inspect the brake fluid level sensor: The "Park Light" may be coming on due to a faulty brake fluid level sensor. Check the sensor and wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. If the sensor or wiring is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
  3. Check the electrical connections: Make sure all electrical connections associated with the brake fluid level sensor and other components are secure and free from corrosion or damage. Loose or corroded connections can cause electrical issues.
  4. Check the fuses: If the issue is not resolved after checking the above, it is possible that a fuse associated with the electrical components is blown. Check the fuses in the vehicle to see if any are blown and replace them as needed
