It sounds like you're on the right track. Either you got a bogus part with the wrong connector, or you just haven't removed enough. The diagram in my manual shows you unplugging the connector (leaving a "male" end exposed) and then it says "remove the sensor". Is that what you still need to do?
If you get the appropriate official Saab Service Manual, 2:7 "Engine Management System" for your car, it covers this. Manuals are about $20. Try Eeuroparts.com or GenuineSaab.com or a dealer.
Here's what it says for my '94 900 V6 2.5L Motronic 2.8.1.
The coolant temp sensor is approximately in the top center of the engine "V" and on the right side, looking from the front. All that you have to do on the 94-94 2.5L V6 is remove the plastic cover on the right and it's right underneath. The sensor is a little plug connector built into a threaded fitting. The fitting appears to be part of (or next to) the "coolant bridge" which is a metal joint fitting where a hose attaches (look for the clamp).
Instructions say "open the expansion tank..., remove both plastic engine covers, unplug the connector, remove the sensor. Refit in reverse." Tightening torque 13 Nm (9.6 lb ft). Top up with coolant as needed.
Good luck. Post with your success or failure.
