My takes:
1. It's the relay. Try re-soldering it all over again; I've done three of them and made them all work fine by this trick. You need to get the solder fully fluid, not just its surface; maybe feed a little fresh solder to the tip of your iron to help carry the heat to the work, and then keep an eye on the old solder. When it melts all the way it caves a little bit, you can see it give or get fluid.
2. Sounds as if it has to be the seat brain. You could try removing it from seat, opening up and resoldering all three relays on it and anything else that looks large and current carrying. Or try to get another, known good one, from a junkyard or site sponsor. Shelling out for new likely costs big bucks.
3. Probably the radio. I have one of mine about halfway out of the cage - - when it cuts out on me, as it was doing regularly a few weeks ago, I swat it hard on the top, or sometimes on the bottom, multiple times till it comes back to life - - a loud pop, then in a second or two the sound starts back up. I'm going to pop it open and try resoldering likely-looking and easy to get to solder pads, on the hope I'll find wherever the trouble is and accidentally cure it. A Saab indy garage may have one on the shelf he'd sell cheap, with the code written on it, to replace yours.
