Anders, ...and checking the switch is easy (once you've gotten access to it). Just remove the wires going to it and short them together with a short length of wire or something (if you use bare metal like a paperclip, make sure it doesn't touch anything). If the lights come on, the switch is bad. If not, put the wires back and look elsewhere (terminals inside the fusebox are one possibility). An oil leak is the best way to tell you own a genuine Saab. If it's not leaking oil, it's not a Saab! Seriously, there are about 1/2 million areas where Saabs are known to leak oil. Like Craig said, clean everything up (try to be careful not to get water or solvent into electrical connectors), then try to observe the exact location of the leak(s). Put a message here telling what you find, and you can get some further advice.
