>The elegant way is to find the wire to the 'fifth gear sensor' and fix it
so the computer thinks the engine is always in fifth gear.  The most
straightforward way is a bit of black tape, although to do the tape thing
correctly you need to pull out the instrument cluster.

This may not be elegant - but it works:  It's much easier to access the
trionic box than doing the 'dash-board route'.  I'm not sure about the 9-5
or 9-3, but I know that the last model 9000 ('98)  required no more than
eight short screws to remove the plastic panel that covers the said 'box'.
On a '98, the shift-up light circuit exits the trionic connecter at pin #55
(it's a 70-pin conn.).  I'd bet that it's on a similiar high number pin on
the 9-5/3, too.  It's a white wire that runs thru another connecter
(2-pin), then to the back of the unit that holds the numerous warning
indicators.   It's not 'elegant' but works, or should I say doesn't work,
just fine!  Of course. I'd take a look at the schematics at some saab
dealer, first.  Of the 36 wires on the 70 pin connector, four are white.
