EASY to replace, and $65 for a genuine Saab piece. Some REAL weird crap can happen when the ignition switch goes south. Takes all of about 15mins to replace it, and you'll need a T20 torx bit to remove the lower plastic trim from below the column, and I believe a 2 or 2.5mm allen wrench to loosen 2 set screws that hold the switch in place.
If THIS doesn't fix your issue, then it may be worth taking apart the fuse box under the hood (drivers side, by your battery) and see if there is some massive corrision, or a mouse nest / chewings underneath it. Also might be worth it to just pull your battery cables, clean up the terminals and cable ends, put some dielectric grease on and reseat everything.
