That's the one on the rubber "multi-plug" with the copper ring that fits onto the vent selector dial. My fix was to take the vent selector off the later model fascia and fit to me newly fitted earlier model fascia. I'm not certain about the specifics of moving a later dash onto and earlier model, but it would be worth popping off and taking a look. Retro fitting the correct vent selector to the "behind the scenes" workings worked for me. Happy hunting, Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
