UPDATE:
Local indy (good, but not Saab specialist) says alternator is fine. Issue is with the exciter wire. He wasn't able to find any voltage at exciter. When I tested, I was able to see a couple of volts. He did some tracing and found that power is lost between instrument cluster and ignition switch. He is suggesting/willing to remove dash to pinpoint problem.
Also performed test on AC unit. Compressor had power intermittently.
Car has 135k on it. I'm thinking of rolling the dice and DIY replacing ignition switch ($145) instead of further diagnosis (removing the dash, wire tracing etc...at $80 an hour).
Charging + AC issues, a one time fuel gauge dip, and the fact he found some fuses that should have power at startup are not receiving any juice....makes me think ignition switch is a safe bet.
Any thoughts or related experiences?
Thanks in advance,
