Sounds like the printed circuit for the dash cluster assembly is fried. You can get these rebuilt, look online for "digital dash rebuilders." Radio panel may be unrelated, you will probably have to get a remanufactured radio from Saab if you want to stay with factory parts.
Don't know about the dashboard, but as far as the pixels, check out this site: http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/class/parts.html Look for the listing for Guy Senesac... he can repair the missing pixels. I sent my display to Kramer Micro Repair.... BIG MISTAKE. Not only did he do crummy work, but he scammed me out of money, too, with his fake warranty.
hi mate its not the printed curcuit he is talking bollocks speedo works off abs pump its a common fault on 95s it causes dash tolight up as you described take the control unit off front of abs pump under bonnett 4 bolts leave pump and pipes on just unplug control unit and unblt and remove poss find one on ebay but numbers must match failing that you can have it fixed by a company called B B A REMAN ASK DIRECT INQ FOR TEL N0 THEY ARE FAST AND RELIABLE
