Need help with AAC Fan controller **Updataed** fixed it!
Alright i need some help here guys from anybody who might know. I think I have a problem with my Auto Air Conditioning Fan controller on my 94 SE. About a year ago, my cabin blower stopped working. It stayed that way for a day or so and then started again. Then a few month ago, it happened again (during a road trip too!). It has now stopped working once more, and this time, I am hunting it down! I have a feeling that it is my Fan Controller that has gone bad. I did some searching and found this post, which leads me to believe it is faulty.

So here is my problem. Tonight I tore into the Saab attempting to remove the fan controller but I am not so sure I have gotten the right thing. I removed the glove box, and center console side cover and think that this is the right thing, but it doesent look like any of the pictures shown for the part on thesaabsite.com or eeuroparts.com. Pic number One and two is the part in question, and pic three is where I removed it from.
This is the picture that the saab site shows:
And eeuroparts is similar pic. But what it really looks like is what thesaabsite shows for a 9-3 controller:
Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Is there anyway to test this bugger? I have also seen a TSB from townsend on this but the pictures are missing so it is of little help. (http://www.townsendimports.com/Saab_TSB_Folder/Saab_TSB_pdfs/871_1847.PDF)
It seems from this TSB that a part change has occured in production, so maybe the one I have is old and ones shown online are new, or mine is new and ones shown are old!? I am hoping that somebody else (ASboy_genius)knows a little more than me here and can help me out!
Thanks in advance!
