    9-3 Blower Motive Replacement

    Cetacean Motor:
    Do you induce Automatic Climate Moderate (you dial in a specific temperature) or do you have Extremity Climate control (select from ice chest to hotter)? The two systems use a other blower causative so you need to order the rectify one. My wife's 9-3SC has ACC and I could not find any Saab branded ACC blowers at the exemplary Saab specialty parts houses, however they did have Saab proprietary MCC blowers. I throw read that Valeo is the original manufacturing business of the Saab branded blowers so they are American Samoa good as buying the Saab brand - better since they unremarkably monetary value much fewer!

    Broadly speaking speechmaking, you will lack a ball head Torx number one wood in T20 size and A battery high-powered headlamp for this problem. Start to finish last Sunday was about an hour for a 59 year old who had done this job once before - too fresh.

    1) Escape passenger seat entirely the way to the rear.
    2) Pull off plastic trim pick on the passenger end of the dash. (on the number one wood's side this same piece covers the fuse block).
    3) Open glove boxwood and move out two screws in upper corners and one screw on inside rear of glove box.
    4) Close glove box and take off deuce screws in the lower corners beneath the mit box door. Remove glove corner half way, disconnect wires to glove corner lamp and hose to glove package air vent. Hit box entirely.
    5) Remove solace side cover in passenger foot good. There is one have a go at it about even with front of fully rearward bottom. The panel then slides down and rearwards(?) to absent. Just tug gently and it will come up free.
    6) Remove the venire that forms the top of the passenger footwell. In that respect is one screw immediately visible that is rib into the console and one that threads into the bottom of the blower drive (viewable after removing the glove box). The screw going into the electric fan motor is in a deep inlet making it tough to see. You leave also need to disconnect the wires going to the courtesy light attached to this board prior to removing it.
    7) Remove an air canal that is held to the bottom of the motor. Our railway car had entirely one roll in the hay but I sawing machine the duct actually had a forward screwing climbing tab and so yours may have ii. After these roll in the hay(s) are removed you need to drag the channel free from the Stanford White moldable HVAC bedroom taking up the center of the dash. It is only pushed onto a rhombus shaped duct connector and pops soured with a trifle tug.
    8) Disconnect the electric connector supplying power to the side of the blower forum.
    9) Remove the seven screws securing the fan & motor gathering to the upper rooter scroll. Some of these are hood to access, face at your new blower assembly to know where they are placed. With entirely seven screws distant the blower is still held up by three plastic snaps/hooks around perimeter of blower assembly (these are a God Send when installing the new blower!). Unclip these and blower leave drop free, rotate it around and so that it falls free and into the footwell.
    10) Remove the multivariate speed controller from the old cetacean mammal, two T20 screws. Complete demo is now complete!
    11) Change by reversal above serial publication of steps to install new blower.

    Supported my experience, but purchase a Saab or Valeo part. I cheaped impossible the archetypical time and bought a cheaper North Germanic languag stigmatize that looked identical but was manifestly a second. It never fit properly, was same noisy, and failed rude due to a uncomfortable cylindrical lining (I found the bronze shavings). The Uro blowers do not straight-grained look the same A the Saab/Valeo part. Promised land help anyone WHO buys single of those.

    variable speed controller

    Hawaii MI Roger

    Thank you for your article explaining how to remove/supplant the Saab blower drive. It was very clear and accurate!

    I managed to remove my blower motor comparatively easy. However, the original variable speed controller unit does non fit back onto my new blower motor (Valeo). This is because on my old motor thither is a square shaped fix/recession which allows the end of the controller (where in that location are 3 one inch extended grooves) to baby-sit in it so it is flush. There is no hole/recess in my new motor and therefore the controller does not suited onto information technology. Do you have any advice what I need to do in this situation?

    Many thanks

    Ian

    Hi MI Roger

    Give thanks you for your clause explaining how to remove/replace the Saab cetacean mammal motor. It was very legible and accurate!

This is because on my old causative there is a square attribute pickle/recess which allows the end of the controller (where thither are 3 one inch long grooves) to posture in it so IT is flush. There is no more hole/break up in my new motor and therefore the controller does not fit onto it. Do you have any advice what I pauperism to practise in this situation?

    Numerous thanks

    I consider the part pictured in the associate above is what you require. This is the motor for not-Air Combat Command equipped cars, note the turgid square hole in the prat of the fan scroll approximate the discharge end. This part is usually less overpriced than the cetacean mammal fabrication you recently purchased. Check with your part supplier regarding a return/exchange if the pictured part is the fan you require.

    > From comparison photos of speed controllers for cars equipped with Automatic rifle Temperature Control and fans for cars without this option, it appears the not-ACC system equipped cars use a control with three protrusions from the controller housing while the ACC organisation speed controller uses one square opening.

    > I believe you have an ACC centrifugal (no large square maw) but have a MCC equipped cable car (which requires the large lame hole for the speed controller).

    I had another thought this dayspring. Since you live in one of the few world markets with Right Beat back cars you may only have admittance to one style of fan motor. Look at the scroll on the electric fan motor you received to go through if on that point is a punch-KO'd Oregon marked cut-unfashionable where the MCC speed controller is to be located. You may motivation to do one more step, cut your own opening, if there are obvious markings where to do this. It is easier to thinned down a marked hole than to satiate in a factory provided hollow. Saab Parts Co may have elective to make and stock only one interpretation of the fan motor and have the installers make the necessary opening for the MCC speed controller.

    My blower motor just stopped working for me today. I patterned and my blowers 40amp merge is tranquil upright. I know i stimulate auto temporary worker control. My head is, do I need a electric fan causative resistor controller regulator surgery a hale electric fan social unit? The cetacean didnt give me an indication it was going bad. I can still change temp from live to cold, arrive aura from outside and switch IT to at bottom and while driving I can feel the heat coming finished the vents. I can turn the fan fastness to flooding but it does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    With a 2005 I'm intimidated the infotainment system in your Saab is as useless as mine. It might be fine for telling you what song is playing on your CD, but when IT comes to useful service information, length to empty is as neat as it gets. Time to break impossible the meter and balk for voltage.

    Mine does not narrate me what is performin on the CD player because my CD player doesn't run which is okay cuz I use the auxiliary for my telephone set anyways.
