Hello all,
In the past I set up the aircon on my 1998 Saab 9-3 conv so that it doesn't turn on when the car is started.
I had some work done this week which involved removal of dash and aircon control unit so now, when I start the car, it's back to the original default setting with the aircon automatically coming on.
Despite searching high and low I can't find my instructions on how to change the settings back so that the aircon stays off until I switch it on myself.
I've searched the web (and this forum) but just can't find the way of doing it - I only remember it was a couple of easy button pushes!
If anybody can remember how to change that setting I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Kyri

See if this works; it's from my 2000 9-5 manual (next post is likely correct)

Maybe this is better; it's for a 1997 900
Ignition must have been off for at least 4 minutes
Make desired settings
Press simultaneously the ECON button plus the button used to increase fan speed.
It should flash to confirm.
Apparently, convertibles switch to manual with top down.

Thanks, yes that second instruction for the 900 did the job.
I switched off the aircon, then held down the ECON and fan up buttons - now the aircon stays switched off when I turn on the ignition.
Thanks for that!
