SAAB left these shores in 2013 after the parent company, General Motors, got into difficulties in the Global Financial Crisis, and subsequent attempts to keep it alive also failed. Chinese interests now own the Swedish brand and plan to return to carmaking in the future.
This wouldn’t be the first time a brand new globe or fuse has been found to be faulty straight out of the packaging. It sounds like a very long shot, I know, but it happens more often than you think. With that in mind, try a second globe and a second fuse to see if you’ve been a victim of this cruel mechanical joke.
If both the globe and the fuse are good, then you have an electrical problem with either a broken wire, connector or the light switch itself. An auto electrician might be your best bet for a quick resolution.

If there are any common problems and complaints about Saab's reliability or faults, they'll likely show up on our Saab problems page. You can also calculate a car's projected resale value via our price and specs page.

Poor reliability, a nearly non-existent support network, bloated styling, terrible on-road performance, and no resale value all combine to give you the full Saab 9-5 experience. You would be better off putting your money in a bag and setting fire to it than buying a second-hand Saab. While some people love their Saabs I find them as appealing as eating a hamburger made of broken glass and battery acid.
