I have been given the task of troubelshooting a 1984 saab "model
unknown" electrical system for a no start condition.

Being that I was a former mechanic from the 1990s, I would normally
look at no start such as fuel,ignition,timming belt ect ect. But can
at least get a heads up on it's electrical system. I want to see where
the relays are located, a fuel pump removal steps if it comes to that
before I drive a hour to the customers location.

The brake calipers need to be replaced. Ive done a ton of brakes on
other cars. Is there anything dfferent with these calipers? emergency
brake is attached to them that I can recall.

Thanks

saying:

In 1984, there's not going to be a lot of choice. It's almost certainly
an 8v. It might have Bosch K-Jet injection, turbo & K-Jet injection or
just a carb or two. If they're slightly wrong on the age, it _might_ be a
very, very early 16v turbo, with Bosch LH. But if it was, they'd know
about it, because it'd be a rare and slightly special car.

Relays are damn near all in the under-bonnet fusebox. Pump's in the top
of the tank, accessible through the boot floor.

There's a special tool, I think, for the older front-handbrake cars.

You need one of these...

electrical system diagram for the 1984 saab 900. Now, I did
troubleshoot it today. There is some kind of short in the fuel pump
circuit. I have replaced three fuses and each blows when the relay is
engaged for 1 second after the ignition is switches from off to acc/
run mode. I confirmed there is a short in the grey/red wire leading
from the fues block to the rear pump. I disconected the wire to the
pump and still a short. I noticed there is another pump? that is ties
to this. If so, where is it in relation to the main pump located in
the center of some strange rubber boot. ? I can get a picture of the
rear trunk area and if you know where it would be located mabey you
can point it out?

cover the fuel float sensor for the fuel gauge, can't remember how many
wires for the pump, but the gauge sender has a 3 wires connector in one
of two connector designs.
