More than likely you need a new thermostat. It is the role of thermostat to keep the temperaturer of coolant in the engine's water jacket -- but not that of radiator nor heater core. If water pump does not work, you get disastorous overheat regardless you drive or not. The radiator fan switch and heater valve work separately and their roles are secondary to radiator cooling. You can get a thermo at about $12 from a reliable e-commerce sites such as thesaabnet.com, eeuroparts.com, to mention a few. I think 89 degrees type is standard for Saab, unless you live in very hot area and you want 82 degree type. Anyway, the remperature of the gauge is supposedly irrelevant to the ambient temp once the engine is warmed up.
