Question:
I replaced the battery in my 1993 Saab 900 Turbo in the dark.I accidentally reversed polarities at the cables but quickly disconnected and corrected them.the car then stumbled to a start, seemed to sort itself out and I have had no further problems with it.
What is a good website to buy high current alternators from for import cars?
However, the brand new OEM Clarion AM/FM cassette deck and separate Clarion console mounted EQ went completely dark.
I am hoping for a blown fuse somewhere in line but nothing in the owners manual or Hayne's Saab Repair book says anything about it's location.I hope I am not SOL with this part of my restoration.
Answers:
First check for the (instrument panel or radio cigarette lighter, etc,) fuses of your car, they may be blown, you can find the locations in your's car manual. If they are fine, take out your headunits check for the fuses in the back of it. If still they are ok, disconnect your radio from the dash , wire together the 12v continuous power wire with the switchable 12v power wire. if the wire on the harness are universal it should be the red with the yellow wire together, and connect them to (+) positive terminal of your car's battery and the black wire (ground) connect it to the (-) of your's car battery. If the headunits doesn't work this time they are probably damage.
Is it hard to find a USB cable adapter to hook into my car stereo?
Remove the radio and check for power behind the deck. The constant 12V wire you need to check should either be Gray (1991) or Red (1995). I'm not sure on the '93. Unfortunately, you probably DO have power and the units are fried. You may want to go through your fuse panels first because it's easier. Refer to the owner's manual for locations. There should be one under the hood, near the battery, and at least one inside the vehicle. The inside fuse box is usually under the driver's side dash or in a kick panel (to the left of the pedals). If your radio and cigarrette lighter are on the same fuse, check to see if the lighter functions. If not, than it's a fuse. If so, than your radio is dead. You should be able to find a specialty electronics repair shop if you look around. More than likely, this should be a simple repair. Hope this helped.More Questions & Answers ...
