I would appriciate ANY input on this. I have an 01 Saab 9-5 2.3litre Turbo. This happened once yesterday and once today, I cant get it to start, I looked at the fuses, everyting checks out ok. The car doenst click (so i doubt its the starter) I tried to jump it but that didnt help... however the battery isnt dead as when I turn the key all the interior/exterior lights illuminate as well as the radio/heat etc. PLEASE HELP! I could hear a sound comming from the fuse/relay box under the hood... could it be a relay? Im lost, I just bought the car 4 days ago and Im already hating it!
Thanks a ton

It doesnt matter when its hot or cold.... i contacted the previous owner (he left his old paperwork in the glove box) and he said the starter was replaced 2 months ago, so I am confident the person who installed it didnt tighen the positive lead to the starter. ill letcha all know! Thank You for your input its greatly appriciated!!
