Hi Steven, I've seen a few message in alt.autos.saab which are responses to your list posting, but those people aren't subscribed to the list, so I'll try to give you a bit more to go on... > This is my first post here. I've recently replaced my classic 900 EMS > with a 1995 9000CS (kids and baby seats). The 900 was very reliable > but got very badly dented. Sorry to hear that. I'm looking at a 1983 900 turbo at the moment. Nice car - might 'dent' my budget too much though. 8-) > I had the 9000 heater core replaced recently. > > The problem now is that since that day the fan will only run on the > highest speed. > > This is causing me pain as the airconditioner will not work at this > speed and summer is coming (even to Melbourne).

Some of the info at the Townsend Imports site could be helpful. Have a look at the material at this URL's: http://townsendimports.com/Web/climate_control_folder/climate_control_docs.html http://townsendimports.com/Web/electrical_system_folder/electrical_doc_folder.htm to see if that helps at all. I don't own any 9000's (yet!), so can't help from personal experience unfortunately. Another place to look at is this URL at the Swedish Wrench website: http://www.swedishwrench.com/saab_ACC_part_1.htm I hope that provides some helpful material for you.
