'92 SAAB 9000 stick shift:
i've got a problem that just developed with the AC on my SAAB. My car 
has the old manual AC rather than the climate control system.
My AC system works fine at times, but at others, it simply won't turn 
on. At first i thought the problem was mechanical, so i had the system 
checked, with no problems found. Didn't solve the problem.
So i start thinking (after flipping through the manual) that the car 
needs the engine power for other things, and shuts off the AC 
(apparently, according to the manual, the car will do this). But this 
didn't explain why i'd be driving for an hour, at a consistent 3K rpms, 
and the AC still wouldn't turn on.
So then i realize, by accident, that the AC will turn on if i hold in 
the AC button all the way. If i keep my hand on the button, the AC turns 
on. When i let the AC button return to the normal 'on' position, the AC 
shuts off. so as long as i hold the AC button in all the way, i get cold 
air. well...i drive a stick so i think you can see the inherrent problem 
with this situation.
Any advice? should i go to a SAAB dealer and buy a new switch? Or is 
this some sort of odd quirk with the car that will not go away? and 
therefore should i just try some sort of homemade solution involving 
duct tape and whatever else i can find lying around?

thx for the help
