Saab door handle problem.
The issue tends to start out intermittent and then worsen with time.
1 1 product ratings 2001 saab 9 5 aero left front overhead grab handle 90 459 155.
There is a c clip on the window crank that needs to be removed.
2 in the arm rest and 1 on the door handle opener take those out.
The door lock could neither be unlocked from pulling the inside handle nor from the outside.
Look for a round cap on the door handle and pry it off.
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.
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.
In this video i show you how to remove the rear door panel on your saab 9 3 front removal is near identical.
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.
Remove the door panel and inspect the linkage and handle for any signs of bending or damage.
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.
With the interior door panel there are 3 screws.
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.
