so...
the battery is draining due to what is often called a " parasitic load." it is a condition where something in your electrical system is drawing power at all times. the clock is one of these, but not to this extent. you prbably have a short somewhere, but I am not going to venture any guesses on where that could be. you could wire a battery cutoff switch until you find it... sucks to open the hood every time you park it, but it does solve your problem
the ABS and brake fluid lights are a bit involved to explain... so check this link out:
http://www.saabservices.com
and the radiator... check the coolant level before you start it today. there's also a chance that the thermostat is not correct.....wrong temp. if it's not those two, it could be a malfunctioning sensor, or poor circulation of coolant (old coolant, maybe deposit buildup). if the light is shutting off shortly after the rad. fan turns on, you can most likely eliminate electrical malfunction. or, could be something else.....
send some feedback as you go, helps in diagnosing the problems....
