Check the alternator isn't overcharging the battery. Generally when all the warning lights on Vauxhall's come on, that's the usual cause; and as Saab is from the same stable......

First rule if you can't get comms; check feeds and earths. It might be fuse 34 to ABS ECU pin 15?

This is not an unknown fault with these modules - re-con units are available from places like BBA.
