Subject: Re: AC in 9-3 SE


I have scheduled an appointment to have the swirch replaced but haven't yet gotten it taken care of. My service rep didn't know what I was talking about either; however, he called SAAB's technical support line and they explained/confirmed there was a problem. He told me that he has ordered the new part. Insist that the dealer call SAAB, with you there if necessary, and replace the switch with the newly designed one. When I have time to get it fixed I will post the part number. Good luck, Conrad Thanks for the info on the AC, if it still doesn't work I will also be taking a ride with the SAAB tech.
