I recall paying about $30 for it, but I also bought a few other things at the time. It is a relatively small piece of aluminum, but it does have to be precisely machined to the correct dimensions to work. It was worth it to me to buy it, as I do not have the machining tools to make my own.

how much is that lever run on the saab site??? i would think that this is a common enough problem, that to have a replacement made, it would be profitable to fabricate and sell…

just what i was looking for !!!!

great.

Thanks, I believe there are other manufacturers that do have on-board diagnostics for the climate control, especially if they have “automatic” controls like this car. It automatically defrosts the windshield, blows the upper/lower vents, and especially, switches between heating and cooling.

Great video, very clear. Even though i do not own a saab iam sure you have helped some people. I love the built in Dia feature in the dash.

Thank you for your kind words. I have also greatly benefited from the online community of folks who like to share how they fixed various things.

As far as having the exact same problems as in the video, that does NOT surprise me. Some designs prove themselves over time, and some unfortunately prove to have flaws.

Good bless you Sir ! I was able to fix my car after I was watching your video. I was surprise to see that I head the exact problems that you posted on this video. I’m really thankful for your effort and for the few people that post all kinds of issues and how to fix it. Keep up the good work ! Thanks again for saving me a few hundreds or even a thousand I dollars for this problems.

Thank you very much! This video was enough helpfull.

johnstonb says:

I am glad it was helpful. It is a pretty long video, but it covers a variety of problems that can be encountered, which is probably more typical than not with an older car.

Thank you…thank you…thank you! I was having the same issue with my 2001 9-5. I checked the blend door and the arm and everything was fine, but there was a lot of play in the stepper motor. I followed your directions and my motor looked exactly like yours! You saved me from buying a new one. Thank goodness for the Internet, YouTube and guys like you willing to help out us laymen!!! Thank you again!!!
