When the a/c is on cold air only comes out on drivers side
SOURCE: No heat on the drivers side
Hi,
I have the same problem with my 1999 Saab 95 SE. I have done some intensive
research on the repair and I have come across a few websites with
solutions and they ultimately point to the same one. Your HeaterBox
blend door or stop arm is broken it diverts the heat to
both sides of the compartment. I had a quick free fix from my dealer
from them by setting my temp to HI on both sides. But that did not fix
the original problem of having cold air blow on the drivers side no
matter which selection your choose to have the air blow, may it be on
the windshield, panel or floor, it still came out cold. It is fine on
the passengers side, but the tech at the Saab dealership instructed me
not to adjust the temperature settings on either side or it might break
completely, I think their just trying to tack on $2000 dollars of
repairs for something I can fix for $100-$200 or even less than that.
You should be able to get the job done in 2-3 hours providing nothing
else is broken besides the blend door arm and/or stop arm in your
heaterbox. Here is the link I found that will help you fix the
problem. Hope it helps and keeps you warm, just be glad you have heated seats
for now, without it I think I'd freeze to death in this Michigan
weather, lol.

1. The error code will not appear on the SID. You will need to press
the AUTO and OFF buttons at the same time and watch for the code on the
ACC Panel.
2. The cost is a tricky question. There are 3 motors in the ACC system so pulling the code is the best place to start.
Its possible that you have the blend door error. I just did this repair a few weeks ago. This was
my least favorite repair on the 9-5 yet. It's not hard, but it's not
fun.
I see one or two things in your future:
- A broken stop arm,
and/or a broken blend door shaft.
Luckily, there are a lot of good threads on here about how to repair these yourself:
- ACC+blend+door+repair 1
- ACC+blend+door+repair 2
Hope helps.
