Key thob has stopped working, I have changed the battery but still broke, I am looking for the fuse for the central locking but cannot find it, saab 9-3 linear 2003
Re: Key thob has stopped working, I have changed the...
Saab's have very specific steps that you must follow when you change the batteries in your key fob. You might try these steps to re-sync your key fob to your security system....
If the battery has been changed outside the
car and the car is locked, proceed as follows:
1 Unlock the front left door with the traditional
key. If the car has a car alarm, this
will be tripped.
2 Open the door and insert the remote
control into the ignition switch. If the car
has a car alarm, this will be silenced.
The remote control and receiver unit are
now synchronized.

There is only one fuse that mentions 'Locking', but also refers to the General Electrical Module (GEM). If you change the fob battery, you need to reprogram it to the vehicle. Or you could open any Transit around you. Lots of help below including resetting..
The alarm and the central locking are all part of the remote keying system. You will not fix it with changing fuses because it is likely the ECU needs to be be reset. Unfortunately, it will require a visit to an authorised workshop to do this
My locks didn't work for after changing my battery so one day I just pushed down my locks and then push the button and mine started working again I did it with all my doors. Hope this helps.
THE SAAB 9 -3 REMOTE BATTERY HAS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED AT THE DEALERSHIP.THE SAAB 9 - 5 YOU COULD REPLACE REMOTE BATTERY AND REPROGRAM OR SYNCHRONIZATION BY PRESSING REMOTE KEY BUTTON UNLOCK BUTTON AT LEAST 4 TIMES TO REPROGRAM KEY REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
Take the battery out of the key fob and stand close to the car, or sit inside, and put the new battery back in and try it....you need to be close to the car so the security unit picks up the signal from the key fob. Good luck
I'm more familiar with Range Rovers and Saab's when it comes to key fobs but if you changed the battery you have to re-program the key fob. If you do not have an owner's manual that can take you through the steps you might want to try: push and hold the lock button on the key fob, put it in the driver's side door and turn to lock. With the button still depressed turn back to open, remove the key and release the button. If this doesn't work check any and all fuses associated with your system and last but not least you could take it to a dealer. Good luck!
Try to check wires to the driverside central lock master motor. alarm installer probaly cut wires inorder to link the alarm to your cars central locking system.
Central lock master motor usually comes with 5 wires, two is the motor supply wire capable of reversing its polarity depending on lock or unlock request, the remaining 3 is just a swtich. One is ground and the two are negative request swtich for lock and unlock. If all fuses were good this moght be the problem, try also to check the outside fuses- in the hood. Good luck!
