I'm staggered at how many people leaned so much from Cyd, who has clearly spent a lot of time setting his camera up, buying bits and pieces and gone to the trouble of telling you where to buy all the stuff required, and by all accounts, VERY few people can be bothered to even buy him a cup of coffee … what's happened to kindness & consideration ???
Thanks!

Thanks much for all useful information. Concerning the passenger side intermediate shaft bearing for an 07 Saab 9-3 automatic sedan. I'm told 03 to 011 Saab 9-3 bearing
SKF 60082RS1VP23 Info
Front; w/ 1.574 In. Bearing Inside Diameter; w/ 2.677 In. Outside Diameter Bearing(S); 0.590" Width.
With these specs will fit.
Is there a different bearing?
I've a brand new intermediate shaft bearing but I've still got vibration and clicking at speeds up to 30mph.
Will this method work on a 2006 9-5. I have the same issue no start no crank. No lights on dash and no power to k-line pin 7. DLC has ground at pin 4 & 5 and 12v on pin 16. Would love to know what pin to jump on a 9-5.
Did what you mentioned and still no power to the starter. Checked the fuses and good . Did the bypass from positive to starter relay and starter turns over .
Can it be a dead battery in keyfob ? Lights in gauge panel light up with key on . Can it be an issue with key fob and need to be reprogrammed ?
Thanks
I was watching this at the start thinking oh great another lazy nob making a repeat video of suck squeeze bang blow 😀
An actual trick for a specific mode. Whilst not helping everyone…. Helping those few perfectly 👌
I haven’t been able to start my Aero for almost a week- it starts periodically. Any other thoughts
This is exactly my problem. If this works out I gonna sing HALLELUJA for you !!! Thanks so much !!!
Genuine genius

Do you really have to jump those pins on the harness? I know on some Audi cars it will still start and even drive with the ABS control module unplugged without jumping anything (yes the ABS, Traction control, and brake light will be on)
CCyd where did you get that steering wheel emblem? Just a decal of some sort?
Cyd. Thanks so much for the video. It fixed the issue!
could something like this also affect powersteering? I have TC failure and abs Failure, no fuel, and wont even attempt to start. (happened while I was driving and the powersteering stopped working too)
Thanks!
My name is saab……
You are really a saint, you've saved me and my Saab at least 20 times🙏
Hi I've got the same fault. No crank traction control failure fuel gauge doesn't work and fuel pump doesn't prime. Tried your by pass but still didn't work. Took the abs module apart and all connections look ok. I'll re solder them anyway but any other ideas ta

I have a Saab 9-3, model year 2003, version 2. When I park the car and leave it for 8-10 hours, it won't start in the morning. All the electronics work (like the radio and lights), but the engine doesn't get power to start.
To get the car running, I open the hood and connect a cable from the starter relay to the negative terminal on the battery while the ignition is on. The car then starts immediately. After this, I can start the car normally with the key until I leave it again for several hours, and the problem occurs again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Can you plz come fix my Saab 2003 9.2 😂 It cut out for no reason at all when hot then won’t crank back over. Then it cools down and will start 2 hours later ! Have no idea what the go is ! Don’t have the money to get it looked at !
love it when the first video you come across is the fix! thanks!
Shout out to the old school Nokia phone!!!!
I have the same problem in my saab. Somebody knows where i can find those cables?
Just happened to me now, started fine went down the road on a school run and then bang the engine cut-out. Now the key won't come out of the ignition barrel and car won't start either.
Does this also happen to the 2004 9-3?
Thank you so much. Because of your videos I was able to repair my Saab 9-3 2.8 Aero. And I also learned a lot and understand that car much better. Before I thought everything in electric is broken. This no start was make me getting crazy. Greetings from Germany 🙌🏻🙏🏻 For me I changed the ECU, the ABS-module and the purge valve,.because my car didn't start well after getting fuel. So it was a whole journey with all it's issues. The ECU came from USA, the purge valve from Italy and the ABS-module as a spare part from a 9-3-driver near by. I have had to change an other valve behind the purge valve, too. It was broken (maybe I destroyed it as I changed the purge valve) and it eems to be there for the breaking system. Holy….don't want to know how expensive this repair would have been, if I didn't do it by myself. I paid 260 Euro for ECU and 120 Euro for the copy service, 45 Euro for ABS-module, 50 Euro for purge valve, 50 Euro for the other valve, 70 Euro for TechII service.
Mine will do this sometimes but if i leave it a few hours it will start fine . Could this be the problem?
If it clicks only….is it same fix? If I hopd key to start my battery cables eventually get warm and the starter gets hot….I put in new battery.i even tried to turn the main pulley and its unable to turn..or atleast I'm not able to turn it..I have a new starter but I'd like to know if your hack pertains to my symptoms?.it feels to me like the motor is stuck.the car was driven 9 months ago I have trouble thinking it could've locked up in that short time…anyone have any ideas??
Amazing tip.
Working very well, my SAAB 93 2.0T 2008.
Thank you so much.
I had that same problem in my Saab 95 and I send it to the junkyard smh😢 for 300$
How on earth would you even know this but well done

Evet
Is it okay to drive the car for a short while with this fix?
