Interesting! Where exactly should I be poking around? I'm imagining it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Is there a common spot for these connections to fail?

Yeah, it's usually buried deep. On the Saab, it was behind the center console. Honestly, without tearing half the dash apart, you're best off having a shop diagnose it. They've got the tools to pinpoint it fast.

Roger that. Shop quoted 95€; turns out, the rear vent flap connector was indeed busted, just like you said! Thanks for the heads-up – saved me a ton of grief!

Sounds familiar. Had a similar gremlin in my old Saab 9-3. The blend door actuator cable had popped loose. Check the connections, could be a loose plug.
