SAI Pump replacement question

'00 Saab 9-5 SE V6 3.0L
Air stopped coming out of my vents, leading me to first check the fuses. Fuse #22 (40a) was blown. I replaced the fuse, drove the car twice (once hot, once cold) with no problems. Third time (cold engine), fuse blew again immediately and no air. This led me to investigate SAI pump. I am 99% sure this pump is bad.
This pump apparently fails because the filter gets sucked into the pump. Why does this happen? Also I read that condensation and water causes this problem (my car has never been wet; internal condensation is now a concern).
I am hoping for advice for anyone who has had the 9-5 V6 and has replaced this pump. Should I replace only the pump? I believe there are 2 valves that work with the pump. Shall I replace these as well?
-Thanks to all in advanced
P.S. This is a next-to-impossible part to find.
