LOTS of helpful threads on this site to search for. for example:
http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9-5/index.html?bID=189011
next time it goes out, tap on the under/center side of the dash just to the right of your right knee and see if it comes back on. if this does it. it's the classic worn brushes failure. can replace for $200ish for the part ($325 for OEM) or try the brush replacement like many of us for $17. I figure the brush replacement will only last maybe 5 years but that is a long time. it was not difficult but labor time was bit much. you have to pull it out, unsolder the brushes, file them down to fit perfectly. I dremeled the contact ends to try to best match the curvature of the commutator, etc. if you like projects like this it is rewarding. if you want it quickly fixed you can still DYI with a new part much faster.
or maybe it's something else. search the forums. good luck.
search under: blower, motor, cabin, fan, AC, etc
