Good day, I have a 2008 150Tid sportwagon, recently the rear parking sensor sounder, the indicator sounder and the side light warning reminder sounder have stopped working. The lights, indicator are working fine apart from the reminder sounds the parking sensor give the enabled statement on the dash but again no sound, I am taking it the 3 are connected by a module of some description all help welcome, many thanks.

Welcome, :)

If you read my earlier reply, ignore it.  I was thinking of the wrong car.....

The sounds in the 9-5 are produced in the SID unit (Saab Information Display) and played through a small speaker.  Probably the speaker has failed. 

On the 2008 car, the SID is fixed to the back of the instrument panel.  I've not had one of these apart, do I don't know if it can be fixed easily.  The 1998-2005 9-5 had a different SID in the fascia above the radio.  It could be removed, unscrewed and a new speaker soldered in.  About £2 from Maplins.
