For the wiring, perhaps you can try to go back and connect back red to black and same to the other wire and see if it can work ... Nothing to lose, right ! ?

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

You just found the reason so many of these ended up catching fire and burning to the ground. That connector overheats when an old motor bearing rusts, or the brushes wear out and slows down the motor, requiring more amps to spin it up, more amps through the connector than it is designed to handle, overheating and softening the metal, resulting in connection gap, arcing, more amps needed, and a downward spiral into fire and destruction... Really glad you caught it and it didn't light that carpet, like many fires started. Could have been a sad ending.

I've just bought a 2005 1.9 93 only done 80,000 miles . Loving it so far

Saw your video on maptun strut brace. I tried swedish motorsports web site it's not up. Then emailed maptun directly but no reply what's up are they available or not. Maptun site says in stock but again no answer to query.

[@mick326100]

had this problem, it was the heater resistor, 2004 9-3 convertible.

[@intrepid5684]

Sounds like the resistor. Keep up the good work and let us know what the issue was.

[@TehStokie96]

Have you cleared out the drainage below the cabin air filter? Water ingress in the passenger footwell is due to water being unable to drain out below the car and building up over and into your filter.. lift the scuttle panel and just poke a long screwdriver into ot

[@petercyprian3096]

Did you check for any voltage at the connection to the blower? If no voltage, chances are you have a perfectly fine blower.

[@yegorsolin4044]

Thank you for the video! 👍🏻 It was very interesting to watch! Could it be the fan resistor?

[@Lamster66]

More electrical problems with an NG SAAB9-3 imagine my supprize? If I recall correctly there's a control module for the fan under the dash behind the glove box It's basically a MOSFET transistor in a box if that goes you'll get nothing.

[@asamyers4572]

Electrical issues are always fun. It might be the resistor. If there’s more resistance in the motor, it might’ve draw more current and broke it. On rock auto, there’s one that deals with automatic climate control…for $230. Hopefully a solution is found

[@mica122213]

of course water leaks in an rusts it.. all you have to do is lubricate it, they start to squeal first.. then can fail. simply drill hold in the plastic then you can lubricate it anytime and drill holes below cabin filter so water can run out the proper way. simple. never had a motor fail yet in over 25years.

[@drummin2dabeat]

If I'm not mistaken, those torx screws you mention at 4:46 that hold the blower motor up are T15s, not T20s. If I'm wrong let me know and let's remove this comment so we don't confuse anyone.

[@AutoAutopsy]

I recall them being T20’s; I always ring a few screwdrivers with me anyways if I’m not 100% sure on the size

[@Lamster66]

80k that's almost run in😂🤣😂 I'm thinking about getting another 93 Aero. I sold mine 2 years ago and bought an Audi. For about 7x what I Sold the saab for? I was thinking about going into London in the next couple of weeks only to discover that my Audi doesn't meet the ULEZ emissions required for driving in London but Ironically the SAAB I sold does. Even more annoying I kept my OG93 Aero and that isn't ULEZ complient either. 😠😠😠😠

[@sneakyfox4651]

Er, I have a little issue with my 2004 9-3: Today, when I topped off the washer fluid, my eyes caught a flat black (male?) plug with a green stripe on it jutting up from right behind the accumulator box. There isn't any immediate counterpart plug visible, and the wire isn't long enough to really reach anything. Funny thing is, though, that the car seems to be fully operational; no warnings, and no decreased functionality, as far as I can tell. I don't think the car was ever customised, so that plug should be an original Saab plug. Any ideas before I have to pay trough my nose for a diagnose at my Saab workshop?

burnt wire equals blown fuse

[@alienkillersvaneberg3212]

It is the same with the MCC as the ACC. 9/10 times it is the blower motor resistor. The reason it dies is because water leaks in and damages the resistor. It is an issue on all the 9-3's. Mine is also dead and needs replacement. It is the same symptom if your blower motor is always on, even after taking the key out. This is because it is controlled by the climate control module but the resister and motor have constant + and -

[@FranksWorld1]

If it turns out to be a sluggish blower motor...try a few drops of motor oil or spray oil into the bearing points that should get it going for a few more years... No need to buy a new motor...key is to use an oil that does not evaporate like wd40 does.

[@alienkillersvaneberg3212]

@@FranksWorld1 oh yeah definetly, have also done that. What I’m talking about is if your motor is stuck on one speed. Even with the key out. The bearings on the motors rust because the cabin filter housing begins to leak like 5-7 years after manufacturing.
