This kind of s**t from SAAB *DRIVES ME NUTS*!!!! Its a friggin resistor!

They don't mention the wattage of this device, but having a 93, and seeing
it there a number of times, makes me think its somewhere between a 10-20
watt device. So, go to your nearest radio and tv parts store (I doubt
Radio Shack would have this), and provide them with the following spec:

Resistor
0.22 ohms, 5%
15 watts (or what ever the appropriate wattage is-I'll check mine and let
you know...)

It may have a slightly different form factor, but it can still work.

You can also check some electronic parts places, i.e Mouser, Digikey,
Alltronics, etc. and definitely find one there (my catalogs are currently
packed away or else I'd provide a part number.)

You may have to fashion a mounting bracket because the form factor may not
be the same. It it saves your $100, it should not be that big a deal.
Also, because this is a low resistance, high wattage device, it may be a
bit pricey, (I am guessing $5-$15, because its not used often, and probably
not stocked a lot in local stores)

Anyway, good luck!

John

PS - Only Saab would make you buy $300 worth of parts to replace a $10,
easily accessible one!!!
