Dear All, Well, I took delivery of my bargain Saab today, and have been pushing buttons for most of the afternoon. There were several non-functioning electrical systems which I have fixed by the judicious application of new fuses or bulbs, but I'd appreciate advice on the following: Central Locking ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The central locking doesn't. Replacing the blown fuse got the door- lights working again, but when I turned the key in the door-lock, I blew the fuse. Is this common? What's likely to be wrong? How do I fix it? (And why on Earth are the door lights on the same circuit as the central locking??) Rear Screen Wiper ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not even sure that I know what button I should press to get this going, but when I press the button which operates the washer, all I get is wash and no wipe. Help! Interior Light/Seat Belt Warning Light ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not working. Fuse is OK, and so is the bulb in the interior light. What do I need to do to fix this? MPG Display ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is very dim - particularly on the left. I assume a bulb has gone. Is that right? Is this easy to replace? How do I do it? Any and all advice gratefully received.
