To install the Curt Class 1 Receiver # 11730 in your 1997 Saab 900, 4 holes would need to be drilled into the spare tire well to accommodate the 3/8 inch hex bolts. view full answer...
You would not have to jack up your 2007 Saab 9-3 to install Curt trailer hitch # C11326. But it will make it a whole lot easier if you did. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing an example install for you.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.

I attached a set of installation instructions for the wiring kit you have part # C59496 to the right.
But basically, some vehicles (like yours I believe) combine the stop and taillight functions onto one circuit.
These vehicles will require that you attach the trailer light power module red stop wire to that same circuit on the vehicle and then ground the brown tail light circuit.
Some vehicles combine stop and tail light functions onto 1 circuit and then also have an additional tail... view full answer...
We don't carry the Valley converter you have, but we do have a standard taillight converter which connects to your trailer wiring without splicing into your vehicle's wiring, the Tekonsha ZCI part # 119250KIT.
What you are going to have to do is use a circuit tester like our part # PTW2993 to test the wires of your taillights to determine the functions of each of the wires so that you can wire the wires to the converter accordingly. view full answer...
The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60756 which are a fit for a 1987 Saab 900 stop the coil springs from compressing as much when a load is present. Therefore, if you are loaded or the factory suspension is worn, the air bags will provide what some would call a lift. For example, if the cause of the rear end sagging was due to worn suspension and you were to install the air bags and inflate to max psi then the sag in the rear would be reduced. I will say however... view full answer...
There are instructions for the # C59496. I have included a link to them below. This wiring harness and kit comes with all the parts you will need for installation. view full answer...
The 24 pin receptacle you are seeing sounds like the OBD2 port and would not be used for a brake controller. You will need to utilize the owners manual or a Saab technician to locate the wires and to determine the functions of those wires. Identifying the wire functions is critical because a brake controller has to be hardwired in since there is no plug and play option available.
The wires on a brake controller are as follows:
white is ground
black is 12 volt power in
blue is output to... view full answer...
The brown wire for your trailer wiring should be for the running lights while the white wire should be for ground. Typically clearance lights use black for power and white for ground, like part # MCL32AB, but in the case of black and red wiring the black is typically ground while the red is for power.
This can vary between products but you can simply touch the black power from the light to the white wire from the trailer wiring and then the red wire to your brown wire. If that doesn't... view full answer...
I can explain how to install Hopkins trailer wiring harness # 46255 on your 2005 Saab 9-3. The trailer wiring harnesses for your Saab are all universal hardwire systems so while they do have instructions, they are not vehicle-specific instructions.
Basically, you will test the vehicle tail light wiring to determine the functions of the wires so you can splice in the wires from the harness. The Hopkins harness does not come with a circuit tester so you can either add one using # PTW2993... view full answer...
You will need Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, # C59496.
First, find a good spot to mount the circuit protected converter in an out of the way place near the left tail light in the trunk or on the frame rail, if mounted under the vehicle. Next, find a place to ground the converter such as an existing ground stud or drill a 3/32 inch hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Disconnect the vehicles negative battery terminal. Using an in-line fuse holder,... view full answer...
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one) to install a Tuson brake controller # 335DL-100. For that you would want the # 119250KIT.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. view full answer...
