Car was running fine. had battery disconnected & reconnected. Key will not turn in ignition switch. getting a reading that says steering lock malfunction, stop car safely
Hi Doug...
Not currently all up on Saabs...
Many years since I worked on one...
but reading the owners manual (ALL 288 Pages)... has convinced me your configuration is fairly close to the BMW ...
(with which I am FAMILIAR).
Even though you have a "chip" key...
the lock still ought to work manually.
Battery NOT your trouble...
That would definitely give you OTHER problems
(specifically key "NOT RECOGNIZED").
On other cars ... I have experienced a similar issue caused by the
steering column holding the
lock lever from
releasing:
If the wheels are turned against a curb... or hard in any direction... TURN THE WHEEL
HARD (just
"hard"... as in steering...
no Samsonite Gorilla here) in THAT
SAME DIRECTION and try to wiggle the key in the lock as you attempt to turn it... then try against that direction... again "HARD".
Failing that... jack up the front of the car until you can see some free-play in the steering wheel... by pushing the front tire back and forth... then try the key.
Hope this helps

Saab codespo1312
P1312 almost always means the ignition cassette is failing. Most of the time the car will still run good, at least at first anyway getting worse over time. They are not cheap, ebay has the lowest prices and most availability that I know of. They are very easy to replace, just one electrical connector and four large torx screws right on top of the engine. If you have a black one replace it with black, red with red. To be absolutely sure you get the right one it's best to match part numbers. That being said most of the ones I have used have been interchangeable as long as they are the same color & # of cylinders.

Saab 9-5 linear no start.
I had a car once that had some crud in the tank. It wouldn't get into the line, but when the fuel pump tried to pump fuel, it would block the port. Some of the crud made it into the fuel line. I had to clean the tank and the line to fix it. If I hadn't been a teenager then with lots of time, I never would have spent the time to fix it.

How to remove front axle on 1999 saab 1999
TO loosen of the idler pulley it is essential that the pulley nut first be loosed off to allow the shaft to be moved . The allen head screw unless it is seized up(rusted) will move freely once the pulley nut is loosened. Before you go to extremes consider other alternatives .--removing the pulley off the shaft ( cut the belt to achieve this) see if there is room to attach vice grips in the head of the screw . If you have space ,drive an allen key slightly larger into the hole. (SAE instead of metric). The absolute thing I would use is a torch in that area as you could wind up burning harness wires or setting fire to the vehicle. If the screw head is in an awkward spot remember that longer bars /extensions may make the job easier.

Air conditionar is not blowing cold enough and is fully charged
If your blower is not working. You will not get that cold air. In addition. If you have too much refrigerant in the system. It will blow warm. You may need to get some of the refrigerant out of the system. If you are doing it yourself. Get the service hose with the gauge. It should be in the green. Anything other than green is no good.
