Attention all Saab experts. I am experiencing AC problems at the worst
possible time here in the southeast US. Here are the AC problems for my 1991
9000S sauna on wheels (no ACC system):
1)The AC fan only works on the highest setting (4) all other settings are
dead. I took apart the speed selector switch and checked the dry contacts,
they were fine.
2)Although the fan works on high, I only get 5-10 seconds of cool air and
after that it is luke warm.
3)When I have the fan on and make a sharp right turn I get the sound of
water and I get a drips on my right foot.(I figured this is a build up of
condensation because of a clogged condensate drain. Where is it clogged and
how is this remedied?)
4)The only way I get cold air is when I have the air recirculation button
off and have the fan speed control set at a speed other than high meaning
OFF. I am assuming that the compressor is working and I have freon since I
get a minimal volume of cold air and I hear the compressor clicking on and
off (clicks on and off at 7-8 second intervals while I am cruising at 45
mph).
I have begun to take parts of my dash off but I have found that the fan
motor is geniusly placed in an inaccessible place. Please help. I am ruining
my leather seats with all the sweat that has been pouring off and I may die
of heat stroke. I would like to fix this myself and hopefully save the
hundreds of dollars that my independent would possibly charge me.
Clear the tube that discharges the humidity/water from the compressor
area to a place down under the car. Most of the time it is plugged by
debris right at the end of the tube nearest the ground

Also if anyone has a link to a website that shows various component
locations as a diagram (like Haynes repair manuals) I would greatly
appreciate it.
