Introduction


Saab is conducting a Service Campaign for the purpose of modifying the headlight wiring circuit to allow correct use of fog lights. The wiring specification of early 1987 900 models allows the fog lights to be switched on without the headlights or parking lights being switched on. This is not correct and the campaign corrects this condition. Fog lights should only operate in conjunction with the parking lights or the headlight low beams so that the tail lamps are lit.

All 900 models built after the VIN Serial Nos. listed on the next page (see Owner Notice) need no modification.

This Service Campaign addresses only those cars that are fitted standard with Saab Fog Lights (SPG, Leather Package, Convertible). Cars without fog lights are not part of this campaign but should nevertheless receive the same wiring modification if Saab Fog Lights are installed (see S.I. 11/86-905).

Purchasers of affected vehicles will receive the owner notice that we have reproduced on the next page. Owner notices will be mailed approximately one week after you receive your initial order of modification parts.

Shipments of initial supplies will begin on November 24, 1986, and will be equivalent to all of the affected cars handled by your dealership. Your status listing of cars is attached to this S.I.. Order additional parts for any early 1987 900's with velour interior on which you are installing fog lights at the customer's option.
