Saab 9 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Air conditioning controls
Operation: Air conditioning controls repair

By simultaneously pressing the AUTO and OFF keys of the climate control controls, it is possible to receive a response relating to the fault code of the climate control system (it is a sort of self-diagnosis) which in this case refers to the drive motor of the conveyor vanes (it happens often that the plastic gears are damaged). In order to access the aforementioned motors, the glove compartment and the side paneling of the central tunnel must be removed. Once the motors have been disassembled, they can be disassembled to repair or replace the electric drive motor and then reinstall them. It is also suggested to replace the plastic control lever with the steel one available in the overhaul kit.
