Anyone know how to remove a FRONT Heated Seat switch and replace the lamp
that provides the backlight?

Thank you,
Ron

Graham,

It is a 2000 9-5.  Sorry I forgot to include this "minor" details, Duh!
Thanks for the reply,
Ron

Carefully pry the entire switch unit out. Nothing really holds it in
just be careful with the dash. The bulb is usually a green twist out
connector on the top, bottom, or side of the switch. Very obvious.

Hi, on the Dutch SAABforum.nl we recently started a  "howto" section.
There's a subject on this particular repair. Though I'm aware of the
fact that you probably can't read Dutch, the pictures could be
helpful.

I gues you're right. However the pics are on a public server without
login, so check out these for an impression:
