15.03.2006 Seat heater switch This document shows how to replace the seat heater switch bulbs, but many others can be fixed in a similar fashion.		15.03.2006 Blank Pop the blank knob next to the switch. If your car has ventilated seats, there would be no blank, and you'll have to figure out another way to pry the switch out.
	15.03.2006 Pushed out Push the switch out from behind and disconnect it from the harness.		15.03.2006 Unplugged Don't worry about mixing the harnesses up, they are all in different colors.
	15.03.2006 Switch Locate a small white cover on the side of the switch.		15.03.2006 Cover Open it, and you will see two bulbs inside.
	15.03.2006 Thumbwheel bulb Use a flat screwdriver to take out the thumbwheel bulb.		15.03.2006 Panel bulb The bulb that lights up the panel is accessible from the other side.
	15.03.2006 New bulbs New bulbs are $10-15 each at the Saab dealer. I've found these 12V lamps at Radio Shack for $3/pair.		15.03.2006 Leads unbent Straighten the leads. On older bulbs they are soldered to contact studs. If that's the case, cut the wire and discard the studs.
	15.03.2006 Bulb out Remove the bulb from the plastic socket.		15.03.2006 Cap off Take off the transparent green cap.
	15.03.2006 New bulb Put the cap on the new bulb.		15.03.2006 Back into socket Insert the bulb into the socket.
	15.03.2006 Wire loop On the old style socket, pull the wire through a hole in the socket...		15.03.2006 Old style ...make a loop and bend it to form a contact patch.
	15.03.2006 Bent wire Newer sockets have a groove for the wires.		15.03.2006 New style It makes for a better fit.
	15.03.2006 Testing Install the switch and see now nicely it lights up ;).
