Saab door handle problem.

This is a problem that you should be able to fix. I found a way to unlock the lock with a piece of steel wire accessing from the inside. There is a c clip on the window crank that needs to be removed. The central locking door lock mechanisms on saab 9 3s and 9 5s are known to occasionally malfunction stop working.

Remove the door panel and inspect the linkage and handle for any signs of bending or damage. The door lock could neither be unlocked from pulling the inside handle nor from the outside. When you hit the central locking button on the remote the affected door often won t lock or won t unlock if it was already locked. In this video i show you how to remove the rear door panel on your saab 9 3 front removal is near identical.

If nothing can be seen then you can leave the panel off and operate the door manually with the linkage. Hold the key ring portion of the remote in the other hand and while keeping pressure on the saab logo pull the remote in half. Vehicle shown is a 2007 60th anniversary mode. The problem is going to be in the latch itself or the linkage between the handle and the latch is bent.

The issue tends to start out intermittent and then worsen with time. They make a cheap little tool to remove those but i ve heard people using a shop rag and removing the c clip. Look for a round cap on the door handle and pry it off. With the interior door panel there are 3 screws.
