The SRS(airbag) light stayed on after I started the engine of my SAAB'97 SE
last week.  Today I sent the car to the dealership and had it checked.  The
error code they told me is B1227 - the SRS light is not working properly and
needs to be replaced, and the cost is US$270.  Anyone has any idea of this
charge? I do think they asked for too much if only the light is needed to be
replaced, don't you think so?  I hope Steve is still round and can answer my
questions - you seem an expert on this.  Thank you for your ealier reply and
hope you can reply again.

Beside, they also told me the car has a problem of leaking engine oil that
I'd never noticed before.  The engine oil level is stable, and the the
needle of temperature gauge always stays in the middle of the white area.  I
can't see any leaking oil under the car nor when open the hood.  Is it
really a big problem if there is a minor leaking problem and needs immediate
action to deal with it?

LQ,

Not to second guess the tech, but it has been my experience that a bad
ignition switch will cause either a B1227 or B1228 code.

Good luck,
Steve
