Hi David: Well its not that being does anything in particular to my saab, its more that when I am driving air is able to come thru the vent. Otherwise, the blower does not work while I am idle or driving. Its just that for some reason while driving I am able to feel the correct temp because the air is going thru the vent. Funny while in traffic I freeze, then get a little spead up because and just getting warm I would hit another traffic jam and get cold again. He he As for the Saab it is a 9000 not a 900. I have not fully read all the responses yet. I go to school 3 nights a week to finish up a few classes. Thank you again everyone. Have a great night.
