Saab Electrical Service Tips
Keep your battery terminals clean and the connections tight. Do not overtighten!
The battery should not be allowed to run dry. Top off with distilled water if possible.
If replacing the alternator, replace the alternator bushings and belts as required. If marginal at all, replace at the same time.
If the alternator bearings and bushings are good the regulator and brush assembly can be replaced without removing the alternator.
Belts are important and can affect the operation of the system as worn and glazed belts can slip as well as make noise. Replacing belts on a regular schedule will prevent this as well as guarantee that you won’t be stranded by a broken belt.
