Her's my previous post:

The stepper motor which controls the air mix on the driver's side works fine. I tested it on both sides. However, there is a green arm that sits on the yellow ring where the stepper motor fits in. The green arm is obviously cracked.

The metal piece fits into the yellow ring.

I intend to try and crazy-glue the green arm together. However, I do not see what the arm actuates. I checked out the AllData database at my friend's shop, and AllData does not have a detailed diagram of the arm and mechanism.

Also, since I see many owners experiencing the same symptoms, it appears to be some quality issues on the driver's side heat-mix mechanism (which experiences more wear than passenger side). I'd like to get all the owners experiencing problems to sign a letter to Saab USA regarding this issue. Perhaps if the issue a TSB on this they'd fix this or at least cover part of this.
