If you're adventurous, you might crawl under the dash and see if you can trace the driver's side vent back to the heater core and look for a loose vacuum line or some such. Can't really say how accessible your heater core area is on that car. |

I love my Saab 95 although it's mainly used around town with only the occasional long trip. On a long trip today I noticed that hot air was coming out of the centre console instead of cool air. It was a nice mild day with the outside temp ranging from 18C to 20C but with 18 C selected [on Auto setting] cool air was coming out of the front vents but much hotter air was coming out of the rear vent. If someone was sitting in the back seat they would be uncomfortably hot. I played around with various temp settings but couldn't stop warm air coming out of the rear vent. I'll check with the service agent but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem and has a fix? Incidentally the weather while quite warm was cloudy/overcast and I wonder if the sun sensor may have somehow confused the system. Any comments/ideas would be much appreciated. |

Hello, I recently noticed a problem with my 2000 Saab 9-5 heater/fan. When I start the car "cold", the heater fan comes on and works fine as long as I'm driving. However, when I turn off the car for a few minutes to an hour (not long enough for the engine to cool?), when I restart it, the fan does not blow at all - even when I manually punch it up to max. This is very hazardous in Minnesota - tonight I had no defrost after a trip to church! Anyone seen something like this? Thoughts on what to troubleshoot? Thanks, -Jeff

Try pressing the Auto+Off buttons simultaneously. It'll run a self diagnostic and display codes if there's any issues outside of code zero. It'll also recalibrate the system as well. If you see a code 08 pop up, take a deep breath before hearing the dealer estimate!! Google 'saab 9-5 code 08' for alternative fixes. |

| My Saab 9-5's heater has stopped working. When it stopped, it briefly worked again after turning it off and on again but know it is only blowing out enough hot air to eventually clear a small circle at the bottom of the windscreen. I havre tried the auto and off button diagnostic check and the code " 0 " comes up on the display. Any ideas what the problem could be ? | |
