The bulb in the newer Saabs (the 95 being among them) sits in a quarter-turn holder, just as AeroLady says. A poor contact between the holder and the contacts inside the controller is very possible. I wouldn't expect a wiring problem, as much as a wobbly connection with the bulb.
If you pop the controller out of the dash (it pulls straight out, albeit with some difficulty), you'll see a hole in the side of the controller with what looks like a plastic screwhead. With a screwdriver, just give it a quarter-turn anti-clockwise, (to loosen), then push in and give it a quarter-turn clockwise until you feel resistance. That will clean and re-seat the contacts. If the bulb is dead, you can buy a new one at the dealer. Not cheap, but a lot cheaper than a new controller.
