I haven't *solved* the problem, since Saab tell me that a replacement motor would cost me over a hundred pounds, and would have to be ordered from Sweden! Ye Gods! I'll have to see if I can find a 9000 in a breaker's yard somewhere - for the moment I have simply disconnected the motor, which has re-enabled central locking everywhere else, and given me back the interior and door lights.

I thought I'd fixed this yesterday, and it was working fine, but it has just died on me again. :-( I *hate* intermittent faults. > >> Interior Light/Seat Belt Warning Light >> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >> Not working.

BTW, the bulb in my sunroof switch is u/s, so I asked Saab how much a new switch would be (the bulb is actually soldered in). Would you believe over forty-five pounds? They're taking the mickey, aren't they? Even Citroen is not this expensive for parts. Does anyone know of a good cheap source of Saab electrical parts in UK?
