The display for the ACC panel went from fully lit to partially lit to no lights over the last few weeks... It's a 00 9-5 LPT 2.3 black if that matters... 200k! The ACC still seems to work, I just can't tell what it's doing ( I hear the fan going and can lower the fan speed, by sound). The blower door motor is out.
Should I look for a replacement or can I find the burned out light and replace it?
Thanks for any help,
Cheers, John
There are three bulbs in there, from memory. They can be replaced, but they are not cheap as Saab spares. The bulbs have a plastic base and fit with a quarter turn.
These are from the guy that repairs Saab displays.

Thanks! I ordered the lights. Looks like a fairly easy fix....

Are they really unique to this application? They look like standard T5 capless pushed into twist-lock holders to me.
The wires on the bulbs are tack welded in place.
Ahh - 'nuff said. ::)
So I finally got the bulbs and they went in ok but, I still don't have the 3rd column ( Econ etc..) lighting up, the others do light up now... Any ideas?
Crack in the circuit board? You need a small (T8?) Torx driver to get in and look.
