Fuses

WARNING

To avoid the risk of short-circuiting and/or fire breaking out in the electrical system, the following advice should be heeded:

• Always consult a workshop before

modifying or adding any electrical

equipment. We recommend that you

contact an authorized Saab dealer.

Failure to do so can result in the elec-

trical system being damaged.

• Never replace a fuse with one having

a higher/lower rating than specified

Sound fuse / Blown fuse

The fuses are housed in two fuse panels: one at the end of the instrument panel on the driver’s side, and one under the hood.

To check if a fuse has blown, first remove it from the panel (see below). If the filament is broken, the fuse has blown.

(see page 218). The color of the fuse

indicates its amperage.

• If the same fuse blows repeatedly,

have the electrical system checked by

a workshop. We recommend that you

contact an authorized Saab dealer.

• If a MAXI fuse blows, it means that

there is a major fault in the electrical

system. Have the car checked by a

workshop. We recommend that you

contact an authorized Saab dealer.

A special tool for removing fuses is provided

 

at the bottom of the fuse panel at the end of

 

the instrument panel. Simply push the tool

 

onto the fuse, squeeze and remove the

 

fuse.
