Thanks for the run-through here. My "always-on/DRL" headlights would only come on with switch in first position. New ignition switch solved the issue. The updated replacement part looked different from the original, and came with an additional connector to bridge the old connector port with the new switch. Also, I believe on Dame Ednas there is only a single air duct that runs from front to back, the rear section secured to the inside of the center console housing.
Here's something simpler and cheaper to try first: Simply replace the Starter Relay. Less than $10 from Amazon. I'll bet you still have the original Bosch starter relay and these are notorious for being at fault intermittently. In other words, your car might start fine twenty times and then not start but all accessories illuminate. Then, after waiting from 10 minutes to an hour, car starts fine. This simple fix may be your solution, before replacing more expensive parts. I've had no problem after replacing the starter relay several weeks ago. Hope this helps!
That's true and could work, it happened to me with a Mercedes I had a few years ago, starter motor relay was causing an intermittent fault which slowly got worse until I replaced it. In this case though, it was a faulty ignition switch which caused the fault and hasn't happened since changing it, and I daily drive the car. Thanks
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Erik Alfonso I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hi. I’m in the UK. I really hope you can help. I bought a 56 plate Saab 9 5 2.0 T auto. Went to see it last week, was starting in front of the guy’s house. It belonged to his dads in law who passed away. It started on jump start and we drove around the houses. This week I went with a friend to pick it up same thing started with a jump start and drove it 50 miles no issues. Soon as I stopped in a petrol station in my town, when I wanted to start again, it won’t start. Went to eurocarparts and got a new battery(jump start the car with it), once home I have replaced the battery and it started, left it over night, I couldn’t start it in the morning and central locking wasn’t working after few trials. I am assuming something is draining the battery maybe when car is parked for a while?
Well, seems I might have same thing needed to replaced. Took a voltmeter and measured the old battery, it’s perfect, put the voltmeter on the new battery that I have installed yesterday, shows 10.6V or so, tried started it and it did surprisingly this time and measured again, 12.6 V, turned on the AC, lights and radio, voltage measured 14.16, so alternator is good, switched off the engine and waited and it went back to 10.6 V measured. One of the side effects of ignition switch is battery drain. Can’t find a new replacement anywhere online (sold out everywhere) so that means I’ll have to go with a used part.
@@japanluv Glad you fixed it, just on a side note I have seen alternators putting out 14v when running and still drain the battery due to a failed rectifier diode, caused me weeks of head scratching.
@@mercedeslove4291 Sold now. Road tax £600 plus, they increased my insurance as well so had to let it go and got a 2015 Seat Leon FR TDI instead. I kind of miss it.
Was completely intermittent for a short while, then refused to start. Also, when it would start, I had crazy error lights on the dash, wouldn't drive right, all sorts of mad stuff

@Erik Alfonso it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
Nice, i have a no start issue. going to give this a shot.
Think I too have the same issue, so thanks for the video.
Am not getting any instrument panel lights and it cranks but won’t start, any suggestions🤔
thanks for the video.
Ive got the same issue now, did you ever figure out what it was with yours?

did the ignition switch solve the problem, i been having this same issue for a while now and think it’s time to replace the switch itself
@@jamainemchai7120 Hi. A battery with higher crank power sorted out. Never had any issues after.

❤ I have sabb 95 it's nice car but sometimes it wont start it drive me nuts trying to find the problem 😢 Still looking 😮
Did the car start when it wanted then wouldnt again or did it just not start one day until you switched it
Was completely intermittent for a short while, then refused to start. Also, when it would start, I had crazy error lights on the dash, wouldn't drive right, all sorts of mad stuff
Is it starting now..?
Yeah it started after fitting a new (second hand) ignition switch 😀
Are you able to read the computer now
Yes, everything went back to normal after changing the switch, display comes on when the ignition is switched on, runs it check, everything
@@ff40mad interesting. I havent been able to read my computer for a while now, but thats the only problem.
All that it needed was a full battery
No. it was a faulty ignition switch
