Jim, Don't know exactly what your problem is, but I noticed you had a problem with your floor vent. I have a 1998 9-5 with ACC and had a problem with the heating systemlast year, I hope for you you don't have the same problem!!. The driver side of the ACC was not functioning, it was blowing cold air, no matter what temperature setting I used. When re-calibrating the ACC as per the driver's instruction manual, fault code "08" appeared. I brought the car to the local Saab dealer to get it fixed. They found that one of the air regulating valves was either broken off or that its operating rod was broken. It appeared that could not be replaced and that the whole heating housing had to be changed out. This meant that the whole dashboard would have to be removed as well. The cost for this operation were +/- Dfl 5500.= (+/-US$ 2500.=)!! Since the car was just over 3 years, I tried to get at least some warranty. The Dutch Saab Importer refused any refund as I had bought the car abroad. Then I approached Saab Sweden and refferred to world wide guarantee. I got a reply that they felt very sorry but also refused to pay any refund!!! gr Gert "Jim" <jimnopsamil.thanks.com> schreef in bericht news:at710v$118r33$1nopsam45020.news.dfncis.de... > Where is the manual control for the floor vent? > > Thanks > > > > > "Dennis Barlow" <lowbarnopsami.com> wrote in message > news:3AvJ9.314109$%m4.106674nopsamnsc52.ops.asp.att.net... > > The 9-5 has a very good heater.
