2001 Saab 9-5 Wierd Blinky Light Problem?
2001 Saab 9-5, V-6 Turbo with 166,860 miles
Alternator went bad, had to jump it a few times then water pump started leaking so I parked it for a few weeks. Had the alternator, water pump and timing belt replaced. I also replaced the battery and life was good... well sorta...
The car, will drive along just purring away when all of a sudden the warning light (red triangle) comes on along with the brake light, the ABS light and the TCS off light and the speedo quits working. All other gauges are within norm. I can drive for a while, might be 5 minutes or 4 hours and then lights all go off and and the speedo starts working again... all by themselves.
I'm guessing some sort of limp home mode...
Hot or cold, overnight or all day out and about, this seems to be a mood thing.
There are no OBDII fault codes.
Any help? Idea?
