Saab door handle problem.

This is a problem that you should be able to fix. In this video i show you how to remove the rear door panel on your saab 9 3 front removal is near identical. They make a cheap little tool to remove those but i ve heard people using a shop rag and removing the c clip. The problem is going to be in the latch itself or the linkage between the handle and the latch is bent.

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. 2 in the arm rest and 1 on the door handle opener take those out. If nothing can be seen then you can leave the panel off and operate the door manually with the linkage. The door lock could neither be unlocked from pulling the inside handle nor from the outside.

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. To access the mechanical key on the remote hold the button portion of the remote in one hand while using the thumb to press down hard on the saab logo. 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.

Look for a round cap on the door handle and pry it off. I found a way to unlock the lock with a piece of steel wire accessing from the inside. The method displayed in this video is the only method vaild for 2008 cars it does work on 2008 cars beside another method a little bit easier where you. With the interior door panel there are 3 screws.
