I have two NEW parts that I bought from the Saab dealership, which were not the cause of my problems. Since they're electrical parts, the dealership won't take them back.

First is Part #5184403 Microswitch-this switch is for the tonneau on the convertible. It is located on the passenger side near the rear seat. I paid $58.30 including tax. $50.00 shipped

Second is Part #5045976 Thermocontact-This is also known as the anti-frost switch for the A/C. When the A/C clutch runs but doesn't engage, this is sometimes the problem. For me, it wasn't. It is a common part to go bad on these cars, and it is a new design from the original. The original had the metal clip, and the new one has the plastic clip. It is located on the low-side pipe of evaporator inside the air box assembly. I paid $60.42 including tax. $50.00 shipped

I bought these for a 1997 Saab 900SE Turbo Convertible, but it's possible they might work on 1995-1998 models. Check with your dealership to be sure.

Thanks!
