reading what you said, I was pondering what you said. I just happened to drive my wife's '03 Aero to work. Then I realized that I had the daytime running light on the car turned off. I believe the culprit is in the DRL. When I turned the lights on going home (because it was raining), I realized the illumination for the odometer dimmed. This is so because the car "thinks" it is dark out so it dims the odometer as well.
Since I requested to have DRL turned off, the odometer illumination is normally on daylight setting until I turn the lights on. That led to my comment about the odometer being too bright for my taste :-).
I believe, with DRL on, and I believe you do, then your odometer illumination is always in the "dark" mode, hence your complaint.
Now, did you have DRL turned off in your 2000 9-5 ? If so, then it could explain the difference. If not, then Saab probably changed something for '02 and later models, as '02 and '03 9-5 models are essentially the same.
