Changed battery and now car won't start!?!
I have a 2005 Saab 9-3 ARC Convertible and today I went to Sears to have the battery replaced. When they got done the engine would not turn over but all other electrical systems seem to work. Lights, power windows, etc. Does anyone know if there's something that needs to be reset? I had it towed to Sarasota to the Saab dealership. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Car won't starrt after battery change...
Well at the end of the day the dealer is stumped as well. They tried pulling the fuse to reset the computer, draining the capacitors which maintain sensor data by connecting the battery cables together, etc. These I find are the usual tricks they perform in such instances. What we now suspect is when Sears installed the battery they accidentally put it in in reverse polarity and fried the computer! If so, I'm in for a major repair job!! At any rate, the car will spend the weekend at the dealership and me with a rental! More to follow Monday.
