Thank you TSN for alerting me to the DIC issue.
My '00 9-3 was going out of warranty two weeks ago. So, just before, I set up an appointment at the dealer to check over the car and specifically told them that it was running sluggish and to check the DIC. So, they said that it was ok. Two weeks after and out of warranty, the submarine light came on in the dash and I took the car to the dealer. The service writer calls back and says that the DIC is shorting out and could die. I told him that I had brought it in just before warranty and they said the DIC was fine. He talked to the service manager and they talked to Saab and good willed the part (I just had to pay for labor). I thought that was a very fair solution.
The dealer was VOB. I know they get some flak from some posters, however, they've always been good by me. They even gave me a service loaner ('04 9-5 Arc). You won't get that with Scandanavian or Viking.
So, thank you TSN for alerting me to the problem. One suggestion I have for a new board or a sub-board would be to have a service board for each model for commonly known issues.
