How Do I Replace The Saab 900 Mirror Switch?
Replacing a Saab 900 mirror switch is a job that calls for a bit of patience, but you don’t need fancy tools. Most folks start by slipping a plastic trim tool under the edge of the door panel—metal tools can leave marks, so stick with plastic if you can. Pry up the trim near the switch, working it loose bit by bit. Underneath, you’ll see the switch secured with clips. Press in the tabs to pop it out. Before unplugging, take a quick photo of the wiring or mark the connectors, so you don’t mix them up later. The old switch should come out without force; if it sticks, double-check for hidden tabs. Check the wiring for wear while you’re in there, and swap the old switch for the new one. Line everything up, then press the switch back into place. Snap the trim panel on and you’re done. Everything should fit snug and look tidy, with no rattles left behind.
Why Aren't My Side Mirrors Responding To The Switch?
When the Saab 900 mirror switch isn’t working, it’s not always a mystery. Sometimes the switch itself has failed, but a blown fuse is just as common. Check your fuse panel first—replace any blown fuse with the correct amp rating. Still nothing? The switch could be worn out, or the wires inside the driver’s door may have cracked from age. Peer into the door hinge area for split wires. Corrosion on the connectors is another trouble spot, especially in humid places. If you hear the mirror’s motor but see no movement, the mechanism inside the mirror could be jammed. Cleaning the contacts or replacing the switch fixes many issues. If the mirrors start working after wiggling the switch or harness, that’s a sign your fix is near.
Can The Saab 900 Mirror Switch Be Repaired?
A Saab 900 mirror switch isn’t always a lost cause. Many owners open up the switch with a screwdriver or trim tool, gingerly splitting the plastic housing along the seam. Inspect the contacts and springs; if you see grime, give them a wipe with contact cleaner or a soft file. Leave cracked plastic or broken springs alone—those usually mean you’ll need a replacement. Dry everything before snapping the cover back together. If the cleaned switch now works, you’re set. If not, at least you’ll know you gave repair a fair shot before shopping for a new one.
Is The Mirror Switch Interchangeable With Other Saab Models?
Will a Saab 900 mirror switch fit another car? Sometimes. Some switches span more than one year or model, especially within the 900 range. A few later switches share parts with the Saab 9000, which helps when hunting for a donor. Still, plug shapes, pin counts, and mounting tabs can change across years. Double-check part numbers, connector shape, and pin layout before buying. If you have a spare from the same generation, odds are it will fit and work. Ask suppliers to cross-check with your VIN for peace of mind.
What Causes Intermittent Operation Of The Mirror Switch?
A Saab 900 mirror switch that works only sometimes can drive you up the wall. Often, dirt on the contacts is the root cause, especially if things improve after pressing or wiggling the switch. Age and vibration loosen connections over time. A worn spot in the door harness, hidden inside the rubber boot where wires run from body to door, can cause frustrating problems. Water leaks or humidity sometimes eat away at the internals, too. It helps to open up the switch, clean the contacts, and check the harness for cracked wires. A repaired switch or rewired door usually solves it for good.
