Natasha,
Have the radiator removed, the tanks removed and the core RODDED out by a qualified radiator shop. As long as the fins between the tubes don't flake off at your finger touch, the fans may not NEED to come on. When the car is at a seemingly hot temperature, as the fans cycle on, feel the air they draw from the radiator. If it is only "lukewarm", the radiator is clogged.
Have a qualified shop drain your automatic trans, replace the filter and adjust the front and rear bands. Refill with FORD Type "F" spec fluid. Hopefully, you'll get anew lease on your SAAB's life. Keep us posted.
