Ahhh...the "Time for Service" light.
About 12 years ago I bought a used 5-year old Saab 900 and after just a few months I also got this light. Worried I called the dealership who informed me that it 'trips' to an 'on' state and only serves as a reminder to the driver to do perform in-service maintenance. Oh and by the way, I was also told that there is no reset switch and can be reset by the dealership for $60 (...and this was 12-years ago!)
Interrupting the circuit anywhere it's connected will cause an automatic reset. You have at least two options.
.1. Fusebox: If you know which is related to it, just pull it out (still good) and then replace it back in.
.2. If the speaker cover is a quick-removal, access the lightbulb connetted to the indicator screen, remove it from the socket (still good) and replace it.
Putting a small strip of black electrical tape over the dashboad screen is a good temporary fix...making it less annoying at night.
Good luck.
:-)
