Hi, I have replaced the ignition switch module that sits under the ignition barrel of my 9-3 OG. It took a few weeks to get the part and I have forgotten a few things so I have two main questions; Does anyone have relevant section of WIS they can send me or point me too, I cannot find anything...

Hello I have a 2004 saab 9-3 aero. I'm having issues locking the doors. The car used to lock and unlock with the remote but now it doesn't. Also when I hit the lock button in the car none of the doors lock but they do unlock. I have to manually push down each lock except for on the drivers door...

Hello, I own a Saab 9-3 Combi (2006) since a few years and I recently had an issue when trying to start the car. When I was putting the key fob in the ignition switch, the SID was displaying the message :"Steering lock malfunc. Make safe stop", it was impossible to turn the key so impossible...

First of all did something happen on this forum where passwords were reset? I tried logging into my old account today and not only would I not accept the saved password on my iCloud Keychain but it wouldn't even accept the password that saabcentral would send me when I reset it? Second, I have...

Hi, can anyone advise please, my Aero estate tailgate lock has developed a fault where the lock is working perfectly off the remote, locking and unlocking as it should, but the boot open light is permanently on and the interior light above the loading area is stating on all the time i'm driving...

So when I bought my 04 vert almost 3 years ago it had one missing item that I thought rather strange. It came with a blanked out door lock switch on passenger side. I have seen other verts with the switch there so i figured it was just some weird option fitted. Fast forward to now and recently...

Weirdest thing happened to me today. Replaced passenger side inner light due to someone backing into it. Got everything back together and go to test out the lock...it won't turn. Can't get it out of the vertical (locked) position. It was working flawlessly just before I replaced the light but...

A little while ago I was receiving the infamous driver's rear door lock failure in which the door would neither lock nor unlock with the FOB or buttons on the driver's/passenger's door(s). About a week ago I finally got around to replacing the lock actuator which seemed to be the most...

Hey there, does anyone out there know what the thread is on the lock pulls? ...Or if there is a thread for that matter. I wasn't able to check before I came home for the holidays and I'm having a friend make me some lock pulls. So if anyone has a pitch gauge and could measure that up for me I...

Alright, I know there are all kinds of places that have saab original parts, I just cant seem to find them. I need two things, 1) passenger door lock actuator (door wont unlock/lock with fob or door buttons, must be done manually) 2) directional nozzles on headlight washer fluid dispenser...

bought used 2004 9-3 Aero Convertible. Door lock switch located on drivers door did not work. Key Fobb works the lock/unlock fine. Replaced switch in door with new factory switch, same result. The switch is illuminated so I assume it has power. Does not make any noise whatsoever when...

I've had my 9-5 for 3 years now, but ever since I purchased the vehicle the central locking hasn't worked. When the car was with the previous owner they did work, and I personally witnessed it. Prior to me owning the car, I was in the car when it suffered massive engine failure. (Turbo...

Since I bought my vert last year (an early 04) I could hear the locking mechanism but it was not locking. While I had the trunk apart working on my speaker install I decided to take a look at why it was not locking. Turns out it was just the locking pin not lined up with the hole correctly. Took...
