Your wiring may vary, but my 116 kills all gauges when I activate the shorted out kickdown circuit. If I'd done a better prepurchase inspection, I would have noticed a 25amp fuse where an 8amp belonged. The kickdown can blow a 25amp, as I discovered before I got the car home. Good thing there was a pack of 25A fuses in the fuse box. Looking back on it, I can't believe I didn't think to take a handful of Saab fuses with me when I picked it up 2 million meters from home.
