Within the last two weeks, I resoldered the Orange relay twice. After the first time, with a very old Radio Shack iron with a bad tip, I bought a new iron at Oreillys and did it again. Now it is good. Two years ago the same orange relay failed and the resoldering lasted two years.
The SID does not indicate a failed orange relay because the Saab engineers did not consider the relay a failure item. The light sensor is in the low beam half of the lamp housing and is (I imagine) a photodiode or photoresistor. The power for the sensor is the same power line that powers the lamp. When there is power to the lamp and no light, the sensor, which is on because it gets power via the orange relay, detects that there is a lamp failure and send the info to the SID.
