I'm questioning whether the rheostat and blower motor Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:32:25 In Reply to: But should I question the TB replacement?, craig, Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:50:45 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
were the problem too - in fact I have little doubt that they were not the problem. If the fan was fully functional, blowing and able to change speeds, that was the wrong diagnosis. What controls the temperature is a flap that moves between the air coming through the A/C evaporator (cold) and the air coming from the heater core (always hot). There is a well known problem with this flap where the plastic arm that connects it to the motor mechanism breaks off, the flap flops wherever is wants to, temperature is unregulated. SAAB sells a splint kit to fix this if it's broken off close to the end. Oh, and the thing that controls the fan speed is a transistor, not a rheostat.
You need to talk to the shop owner and question him about this one; the throttle body/fuel pump question is unresolved.
