SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF WIRE HARNESS FOR ISSUE: 11/86-905 INSTALLING FOG LIGHTS


APPLICATION: EARLY 1987 900 MODELS

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. Fog lights should only operate in conjunction with the parking lights or headlight low beams. A change has since been made in production so that the fog lights only operate that way.

Early cars (built before the serial no. limits) must be corrected before Saab Fog Lights are installed. See the directions below for making this modification. Cars built after the following VIN Serial Numbers need no modification.

-H2004659 -H3003382 -H7006112

NOTE: Service Campaign 517 will be conducted to notify owners of early 1987 900's with fog lights fitted as standard equipment, i.e. Turbo models with leather interiors.

Parts Involved

Wire with terminal (green, 350 mm) P/N 95-61-598
Snap Connector (male) P/N 95-59-998

Modification Details

1. Remove the headlight switch from its socket and unplug the connector.

2. Locate the fog light switch connector by following the directions below. Be sure that the ignition key is off.

Retrieve the switch connector by removing the two long dash screws and carefully pull the dash facing forward. Cut the cable tie for the wire harness and free up the connector.

Remove the green wire with terminal from position no. 7 of the fog light switch connector. Cut the terminal off and insulate the bare end.



3. Connect new wire lead (green, 350 mm) at the headlight switch socket with the two-piece snap connector (see drawing, position no. 6, GN/RD wire). Crimp together securely.

Connect the end with the terminal attached into the socket for the fog light switch (position no. 7).

4. Plug in all switch connections, refit the switches and replace dash screws.

Test the lighting system. The foglights must only work when the parking lights are on or the headlights are on low beam.
