    NEED HELP No Electrical Power at all. (2008 Saab 9-7X Aero)

    what were you using for your ground reference lead on your meter?

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    that's great as AC is always welcome in the "new hot world"... :-) As others have mentioned, potentially you may be having some codes in the other systems that maybe cause the IP indicators but are not the right class for simple code readers to display. Having said that, not sure how the...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    The one thing with your "workaround" is that if it works "predictably" ALL TIME... you then have narrowed down the path that are used since you are using the fuse source and the rest of the circuitry.... you are just left with the wiring / fuse box "logistics". Good luck and take care of your...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    So.... a couple of things before you take your "sabbatical" on this problem which I understand as you have done a lot. Earlier you posted about voltage measurements that you did by back probing a position for your voltage reference and then cycled thru the switch position getting some like ~3v...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    I screwed up and didn't look at all of the schematic close enough... the "in feeding power" and the outputs to the resistor block are in the same 7 pin connector... :-( thus leaving that connector in place makes it difficult to access the "in feed" power pin (G on the schematic). Thus you...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    Not sure what to say.... as you have done alot of "checks" and have even "looked" at fuse box layers. IF you look at the circuit diagram, you can see that the "run" in question for this portion of the wiring goes to the hvac and the BCM and Brake Controller. Based on your observations, it is...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    well, that shouldn't happen as the voltage on the B is coming from the "run bus" which can't be pulled that low.... otherwise your truck would stop. Having said that, your key was in "run" for your test... right?

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    can you indicate your "mapping" so we are on the same "page".... ie. rotary position # to connector pin letter. Where were you connecting your ground lead for your meter? The measurements seem strangely low... :-)

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    Related to your "other issue" (ie. abs and brake), those lights aren't powered directly in terms of a "fault condition connects voltage to the indicator". They are set by data communication between the end device and the IP. In this case, the ABS and BCM modules. The "common link", if you...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    OK... you have done a lot of good things... but of course, most of this appears to have been done when the things are working. You need to cause a failure condition and be ready, in terms of access and meter to check things out. Can you be more specific on how you checked for voltage on...

    Electrical gremlin--ABS and brake warning light on dash

    well your problem with climate is somewhat common. You probably need to observe things more closely as opposed to this works and then doesn't as in this case, powering for the system comes from 2 different sources.... one for high speed and one for the others... IF we are talking about the...

    Catalytic Converter Compatibility

    ah... now your post makes more sense as you are wondering about the years "differences"... which you kind of implied later... but I couldn't make out how that correlated with the original number posted. The number that I posted was for the 2008 chev trailblazer which has been replaced by the...

    Catalytic Converter Compatibility

    I am going by the engines listed inside the listing which shows both "models" of vehicles, non-saab and saab. As with most "parts desks", their data is provided by others even places like rockauto don't really confirm fitment at 100% but back up "errors" with return policies... which might not...

    Catalytic Converter Compatibility

    This "parts desk" seems to imply a same fitment across platforms... https://www.saabpartscounter.com/oem-parts/saab-catalytic-converter-25887914 ADDED: of course the part listed is not available but the information would appear to apply IF it is accurate.

    Block coolant drain plug?

    I see from the "old site" this post.... quote: "I installed my Goodwrench Block Heater on my 2002 Envoy with the front driver side jacked up and the wheel removed. I installed it through the wheelwell in about 40 minutes from start to finish. Was one of the easier jobs Ive done on T360's over...
