Fuses

WARNING
To avoid the risk of short-circuiting and/or
fire breaking out in the electrical system,
the following should be heeded:
• We recommend that you always con-
sult an Saab dealer before modifying
or adding any electrical equipment.
Failure to do so can result in the elec-
trical system being damaged.
• Never replace a fuse with one having
a higher rating than specified (see
page 235). The color of the fuse indi-
cates its amperage.
• If the same fuse blows repeatedly,
have the electrical system checked by
a workshop. We recommend that you
contact a Saab dealer.
• If a MAXI fuse blows, it means that
there is a major fault in the electrical
system. Have the car checked without
delay. We recommend that you con-
tact a Saab dealer.
The fuses are housed in three fuse panels:
one behind a hatch on the left-hand end of
the dash, one in the engine bay (additional
small unit in front of battery) and one on the
left-hand side of the trunk. There is space
for spare fuses in the hatch on the left-hand
end of the dash.
Car care
Sound fuse / Blown fuse
To check if a fuse has blown, first remove it
from the panel. If the filament is broken, the
fuse has blown.
