Saab: Saab fuel pump shut off?, control circuitry, saabs


Question
Do you know if there is a fuel pump shut off switch in a 96 saab?  If so, do you know where it is?  It will not start and recently the battery has been disconnected.  It sounds as though it's not getting fuel..

Answer
Julia:

 As noted in my profile, my hands-on expertise is limited to the pre-1990 SAABS. Since SAAB is a very conservative manufacturer and the early ones did NOT have a cut-off switch, the newer ones probably do not also, but I cannot be sure.
 There are rather simple procedures to check the fuel-pump control circuitry, but they are model-specific. The best investment you could make (as a do-it-yourselfer would be to subscribe ($25/year/vehicle) to <alldatadiy.com> for the most comprehensive source of info that I know of.
  Hope this helps,
