Saab: 1995 saab will not start, alternater, electrical connection


Question
I have a 1995 saab se turbo convertible, a few weeks ago I went to start it and it just clicked. I had the starter replaced twice, a new battery ,the mechanic checked the alternater and said it appeared to be working correctly.  As usual I drove around town a for a while, got home shut it off and it would not start.  I put the battery carger on for not even tne mins and it started right up.  Out of ideas, please help!!!!!!!!!!1   THANK YOU< Mark Torrey.........

Answer
Mark:
 It sounds like a bad electrical connection somewhere...likely the cable going from the battery to the starter,  with corrosion, etc  at one of the terminals. It should be cheap to replace.
 The above is only a guess since, as noted in my profile, my hands-on experience is limited to pre-1993 900 non-turbos only.
