The emergency flasher switch in my '97 is intermittent. I can get it to work if I push it in and **just** release it slow. If messing about with the switch can impact how the flashers work, it's not the relay - it's the switch.
Yes, they've been around since the dawn of time, or thereabouts. And I've never had a problem before, and they rarely get used. But that doesn't mean anything. For all we know, sometime in 1995 Saab went to a different supplier (or a different GM supplier) that used a 0.032 thick spring of AMS 4130 steel with a spring constant of .0123 lb/in, instead of the older .035 thick AMS 4155. Turns out that 10 years later, those newer switches have a problem and the older ones are just fine.
I've noticed that just about everyone with a post '94 9000 has had to replace the ignition switch. Never had that problem on the old '88s. Different switch design, and flaws show up 10 years later.
So don't assume it can't be the switch.
