Hi, I'm experiencing a very weird problem with my 1992 900s. I drove a few hundred miles this weekend, and the car functioned perfectly in every respect. I especially enjoyed using my newly repaired cruise control. I parked the car as usual last night, and went to bed a happy Saab owner. This morning, when I started the car, the windshield washer started spraying immediately, wipers going, and headlamp wipers/washers going. Very strange. I fixed the problem temporarily by pulling fuse #8, which is labeled "headlamp wipers," and appears to also govern cruise control and the power side mirrors. So, my question: what could cause the wipers/washers to behave this way? I might blame the switch, although it was replaced only a year or two ago. I'm a little worried that my cruise control repair is somehow involved, since the two things are on the same fuse. Any ideas? Thanks, John
