I locked the doors with the remote and the headlights and rear lights went off within 20-30 seconds, but the Saab Information Display (SID) and the lights behind the radio (the lights behind the buttons) stay on. The SID dims but why do they stay on? Has anyone else had this problem?
I went to CarMax (I can't go to Saab until after 30 days) as I just bought the car from them. They, nor I, could duplicate the problem. I parked the car in the garage again and everything goes out now as it should. Could it have been the light sensor? I plan to visit Saab next month to have them run through the ins and outs of the car with me, verify the warranty is still good, and then get it checked out if it needs it.

The SID may stay on and display a warning. But if there is no warning the light should go out before you exit the car.

Is the head light switch left to on? Check that first.
If the switch is off then there is definitely a problem which should be checked by a Saab specialist only.
