  • Answer:

    As your title indicates--this problem goes way back. I worked on the grounding and feed back problems on an 84 -900 for a year before there was any light at the end of the tunnel. That car had a ground wire on everything. They all ended up at a master ground rt front of the radiator. When It came loose- every bump in the road ran something else up and down or blinked on and off. AND once it got in the habit of that-it was hard to get it to behave even after the repair. Don't let them talk you into anything that would void your warranty --In fact get an attorney to write you a letter of introduction so the dealer will pay attention. (Remember "lawyer Daget" from "true grit"?)

I see your "third-year curse" set in a bit late. This is a notorious Saab feature that just requires a bit of patience and grace. Connections get loose, things start acting funny, buttons don't illuminate as they should, and lights start to flicker. But your problem also seems to be a bit more magnetic, as you mention. You could have an erratic wiring issue or something truly magnetic is effecting your car's ordinary functions. Take it to your dealer at your next convenience because it shouldn't be acting like that. PS - I've seen and experienced a lot of quirky Saab idiosyncrasies in the last 7 years but this one is new to me.
