Car care and technical information 219 Fuses WARNING To avoid the risk of short-circuiting and/or fire breaking out in the electrical system, the following advice should be heeded: • Always consult a workshop before modifying or adding any electrical equipment. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. Failure to do so can result in the electrical system being damaged. • Never replace a fuse with one having a higher/lower rating than specified (see page 221). The color of the fuse indicates its amperage. • If the same fuse blows repeatedly, have the electrical system checked by a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. • If a MAXI fuse blows, it means that there is a major fault in the electrical system. Have the car checked by a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. IB144 Sound fuse / Blown fuse The fuses are housed in two fuse panels: one at the end of the instrument panel on the driver's side, and one under the hood. To check if a fuse has blown, first remove it from the panel (see below). If the filament is broken, the fuse has blown. A special tool for removing fuses is provided at the bottom of the fuse panel at the end of the instrument panel. Simply push the tool onto the fuse, squeeze and remove the fuse.
