I drive a 2004 SAAB 9-3. The blowers have suddenly stopped working. Everything on the console looks okay and the LEDs respond when I push the plus and minus buttons but no air blows into the cabin or onto the windows. Is this a common fault and is there an easy fix?
I never did this before, so your video was helpful. I did find out a few things though that might help you with your water problem. My Saab has an additional cover UNDER the windshield wiper cowl cover. This second cover seems to fit fairly tight so maybe that’s the water shield. Also the windshield wiper cowl cover has a 2 inch tang that inserts under a lip near the fender. You actually have to bend the wiper cowl cover to slip the tang in and out of the lip that holds the wiper cowl securely.
Nope. Unfortunately it has to be accessed from inside the vehicle, passenger side, underneath and after removing the glove box. You have to be a bit of a contortionist to get the job done, but it not impossible. I replaced mine in about 45 minutes last fall before winter hit so I’d have reliable heat. If memory serves, the same resistor from a ’97 or ’98 GMC Yukon is not only fully compatible but also $100-200 cheaper than the Saab OEM part. Google to ensure compatibility though and good luck!
Hell it does ALL THE TIME >:x It has become a standing joke among my buddies now.. “OMG somebody just p## in your car.. lol” yup, it’s my damn air filter!

Is this where you change the blower motor resistor?
thanks

Worst location ever! Does your shit ever leak onto the passenger floor?
Thanks
