Replying to: jscottk (Jan 20, 2007 5:57 pm) 1. The car ran fine without it. 2. I didn't have to deal with any brake lines. It was an electric only module so it was easy to remove. 3. I fixed it myself. One of the FET's inside of the control module went bad. I ordered a sample from the vendor and put it in. (The part was probably $2.50 but it was not available.) I put it back together and tested it out. Works great and the ABS light went out. Bottom line is your average TV repair man could have fixed it. I would go with the refurb. Mine has been working since 2002. -Wendel

| The break lights and turn signal lights work, they are not mounted on the trunk lid. The reverse lights and second set of brake lights on the trunk lid do not work. I replaced the bulbs. The only thing I have recently done is remove the fuse for the security system. This system was not working properly, alarm going off by itself. Any ideas on why the 4 bulbs on the trunk lid would not work? | |

Replying to: blckislandguy (Jul 06, 2005 5:23 pm) My observation, too. The Saabs tend to be pre-GM takeover and the appeal of the Subie are the full-time AWD, durability and availability. My brother in law, who owns a farm up there, once used a Subie as a field bomb to haul veggies from his fields to his roadside stand. He removed the rear of the roof with a saw. Lasted for years. But the State Car O' Maine is still the ancient American pickup with at least one fender a different color than the rest of the vehicle. In the seat are a couple of gents who will inexplicably stop in the road to peer at something in the distance. |

Replying to: tourney9000 (Feb 11, 2007 3:28 pm) New to the forum. As far as I can tell, no one has posted a reply/suggested solution or cause to this query. I have the same issue. Could it be the switch? If so, where is the switch located? I have checked the fuse and the bulbs - both seem fine. Any other ideas? |
