The *EXACT* thing happened to me two weeks ago. And I mean I could have written your post myself. My car had been running fine and then all of a sudden I turn the key and nothing. YET, when I took the key out of the ignition and held it in my hand, the radio was going on and off and the antenna kept going up and down. And the engine was clicking like crazy and wouldn't stop. I jumpstarted it three times in order to get it to a mechanic around the corner and then it died once and for all right in his parking lot (thankfully). He tried to charge my battery electrically, but that didn't work, so he put in a new battery. I then took it to my regular Saab mechanic and he checked it out and said there was nothing wrong with it, that it truly was just the battery. But I didn't understand how that could be when the radio was working???! Anyway, it's been two weeks and it's running fine now!
By the way, though... the battery that they took out was less than 2 years old!
