Replacing the Direct Ignition Coil

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Fuel injectors

The direct ignition coil is a transformer that converts voltage. Every vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine has one. In case of failure, the entire coil needs to be replaced. The ignition coil is cylindrical in shape and is easily accessible; it is not a complicated operation and can be done by yourself. Once located, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and the connector by removing the screw that secures the coil. For installation, position the new ignition coil and secure it with the screw, reconnect the connector and the negative terminal of the battery.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Ford Transit Custom

On many Ford vehicles, opening the bonnet is not done using the traditional lever located in the cabin, at the bottom left on the driver's side. Instead, you must use the ignition key to unlock a lock positioned at the front of the vehicle, usually beneath the manufacturer's badge. The reason for this choice is unclear, but it can pose a difficulty if the lock becomes jammed, risking damage to the key. You can try to disengage the lock by inserting a long screwdriver through the grille of the front panel. Once the first opening is achieved, spray some unlocking fluid on the lock to allow subsequent activation with the key.
