SAAB 9000 CS (1992 2.3 16, UK spec) 96K. Has anyone experienced intermittent failure of the instrument etc. illumination.
I had the car for about 5 years with no problem. This thing started a few months ago, immediately after I fixed a dodgy headlamp connection (you all know those infuriating little wire clips). Now, it's OK for about 5 mins from startup, dash illumination goes completely, then tends to come back to life after about 15 - 30 mins, normally when I get out of London onto the motorway and am at 65+ mph. Playing with the dimmer control doesn't do it.
It's wierd. If I turn the lights off, then on again, the instrument lights flash for about 0.5 seconds. It seems to be a relay not wanting to latch in, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same - and what was the fix, please?
