I've searched my Alldata account and it appears that the car doesn't have a realy for the turn signals (as far as I can tell). Does this car have an "alert" feature where when one bulb goes it disables the whole system? Since there were no previous intermittent failures, I don't think it would be the switch on the steering column. I would think that the switch would wear down over time and not suddenly fail. Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

They're controlled by the DICE module on a 9-3. Presumably the 9-5 is the same. Quote: Does this car have an "alert" feature where when one bulb goes itdisables the whole system? On the 9-3, the DICE only shuts down the indicators if there is a short. For blown bulbs, it just doubles the flash rate.

As a starting point, check any fuses for the DICE module. Does everything else work OK? Cheers, Colin.

The only other electrical thing not working is the cigarette lighter. The lighter doesn't work and plugging a cell phone charger doesn't produce any juice either. Do american chargers work in the Saab power outlet or is an adapter required. I seem to remember a situation I ahd where the contacts on the charger didn't reach deep enough into the hole to make contact.

It's still worth checking fuses though - for both Indicators and lighter. I'm not certain about the compatibility thing, but I'd be surprised if the UK sockets were any different to the US ones. They're all pretty hopeless as power outlets anyway (come to think of it, they're probably not much cop for lighting fags either). Since I do a bit of camping, I always end-up ignoring the lighter socket and putting in a permanently powered outlet using a connector that *didn't* come out of a christmas cracker... Cheers, Colin.
