I had this exact same problem.

The problem was a dead cell in the battery. It had enough juice to turn on the instruments and radio, but not enough to crank over the engine.

If you handy, take the battery out and bring it to your local parts store to be tested. They'll likely find what I described and you'll be able to purchase a new battery and that should resolve the issue.

Sounds like a blown fuse. Start by checking all fuses and replacing as needed.

I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra with electrical issues

2004 Hyundai Elantra a real melt down (or just humor to say battery died as all do often)
most batteries never last 10 years, ever.(my 50y records me)
  1. check all fuses first cab and engine bay.
  2. check battery voltage running 13 to 15vdc good less is alternator is dead, (3 fuses bad makes new alternators fail too)
  3. you never put the battery in backwards right?
  4. you never jump started the car jumper cables backwards right?
  5. scan the PCM yet, I bet it tells DTC errors, that you missed.
  6. PCM means DLC ODB2 16pin port, all USA cars have 96 up.
  7. what does melt down mean and doing what? IDK.

2004 Saab 93. My battery went flat on my Saab whilst away for 6 weeks. On trying to jump start it lights come on dashboard but will not turn over. Any ideas how to fix this please.

You need to reset the immobilizer and alarm. You may need an auto-locksmith or auto electrician. First though, make sure the battery is fully charged and has at least 12.4 volts.

My 2004 saab aero will not start. The battery is fine and all the lights radio and horn work. The electronic dispaly shows traction control fault and stability fault but I think it may not be runing a full...

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action please I strongly suggest that you remove the positive battery connector and let it sit for 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the car's computer and can get it back to it's normal operation.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

1987 Saab, battery problems or my own error?

If some internal light "went out" but the switch is still "on", that might do it.
Something could be shorted. Check power seats' wiring. Radio.
