Yeah, it is gonna be your heater bypass valve.
I've got 5 of these 9-5s and four have had the valve replaced, but just once each. Usually at around 100,000 miles. I can't say for certain, but I suspect the more newly manufactured valves are not failing as much anymore - most of my 9-5s are well over 200,000 miles now. I like to leave things like this in stock form, because if Heaven Forbid I was out traveling and had to fall back on a mechanic, when he sees modifications, he's gonna charge you more money to even look at it.
So, I always carry a spare of this, whichever one I'm driving. And, once the car cools, you can do it at a rest stop, if it is too far to limp home.
