How to fix a passenger indicator issue in a 1999 Saab 9-3
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.
