Parasitic power draw?
#11
there may be a non fob, transponder key option. Since its a Saab, its different from the gm products of that year. Phone the dealer and ask for a transponder key without keyless entry buttons. This new key would have to be programmed to the car. If you have 2 working keys, you may be able to program the 3rd key yourself. ask the dealer if there is a procedure to program it without a scan tool.
11.9 is a dead battery...you definitely have a draw.

update new improved testing the proper way round2 is w/ a fully charged brand new battery holding 12.47VDC
also the driver door is closed, initialley the pass.door was unlatched then I latched the door grabber didn't have an effect on the current draw.
this test as w/all tests are w/out the onstar fuse.
w/ radio fuse in draw was 14.2mAmps removed radio dropped to 1.2mA .
second observation was a blow trailer fuse doe's this trailer wiring designed to have more than one fuse because I'm having trouble w/ taillights but the brakeslights are fine weird.
not to sure about ramdomly pulling fuses that are basicelly unlabled.
I am waiting you'r expert advice you uselly have which is why I have the doors basically locked and the key is in the door.
there is diffiently something wronge w/ the radio I could have jammed something up during the new radio I installed.
edit:fuse's I have out and want out due to not using.

yes the radio w/ 14.2A draw will killer battery in one hour.this is a new radio from Amazone a chinese blaupunkt POS.
radio is around 6months old. I have the three warranty insurance I usually never buy ins. however I was suspicious of chinese blaupunkt POS.
proper testing procedures revealed a 3xs larger draw than previous improper tests
