Even if the topic has been discussed more often, I will do it again. Since I had a remote control without function with my newly acquired used 900er SE Bj. 98 and one with sporadic dropouts I had to take care of it now. It is also important to have 2 working FB, because both the disengagement jumpers, as well as the alarm system are activated over it, and/or disabled. I also did that. However, most of the recommendations in various forums were like most of all it ended with a lot of money at the Saab dealer – and I didn’t! The fact is: I could fix both remote controls easily and at no cost myself. That wasn’t witchcraft! Now everything should work again! I also recommend having 2 spare batteries in the glove compartment in case of cases.
