I lost the keys to my 2004 saab 93 arc and I can't afford new keys so how can I start my car without a key

You can't. It has one of the very finest anti-theft systems. You go to a dealership with your registration document and they will supply a key based on VIN number. When the vehicle came it has three sets of keys! ..

How to open petrol lid on 08 Saab 93

Ng900 and og9-3 fuel door locks with all the doors, use the remote or central locking switch to unlock all the doors, fuel door should then open. If not then something is wrong, there is an emergency release behind the carpet in the trunk in that corner, look for the yellow tag on a wire.

Key fob only works panic button on my 05 saab 9-3t no door or trunk lock and key wont turn ignition after battery disconnect please help

Try this and please let me know it it works for you. A pro mechanic told me a week ago that I am talking rubbish, but I got this FROM a pro mechanic and it has worked for many members here. Resetting a Vehicle Anti-Theft System after Battery Disconnect This is how you reset an anti theft system if you have the anti-theft light on, or your car is cranking, but you have no spark. Doing a full reset of the anti-theft system. Disconnect both battery leads for at least two hours. Hold the negative and positive leads together for 5 minutes to fully discharge any residual power in capacitors. Put the key in the ignition, but not turned on or Fob close to steering wheel. VERY IMPORTANT! Connect the positive lead. Connect the negative lead in one swift movement. Wait 15 minutes for the system to fully reset.

1988 2.0l turbo. Why did blower stop working?

Blowers stop working for one of 2 reasons as a rule. The first is overheating caused by a lack of lubrication. I recommend all turbo engines change the oil at 6K using fully synthetic lubricant. Also, the heat and excessive speed of a turbocharger causes the bearings to wear to the point that they freeze up or come apart. You can usually replace just the turbo cartridge to repair the issue but need to find out if overheating or loss of lubrication was the problem. The tubes carrying oil to the turbo can become clogged with hardened "coked" oil and need to be replaced or at least cleared.

I have a 1999 Saab 9-3 conv. I had the + term disconected. When I reconnected the battery, the seat moved all the way forward and the man recline was in the fwd pos....by itself!!!

Your memory settings were reset, you'll have to adjust it back to your personal preference, it'll be fine but even the vehicle's battery is disconnected in the future be prepared to do so again. Sorry there's no really simple solution, but at least it's not a big issue, but it is inconvenient! 6cacfe65-eba1-407d-bf28-8e96a7fa30dc-nuhf2ssaswwsu1mfl2kxuue2-3-2.jpeg

How do I sync my fob key 04 9.3 turbo ?

You cannot make a remote work with the car if it has not been programmed in with a Tech II. The "press the button 4 times" option is used when you change the batterys in a remote and need to re-sync it with the car. The car still has the remote's unique ID stored internally, you are just syncing it back up again. My guess is that you got another key for your car so you'll have to visit a dealer or independent with a Tech II who can add them all to the car. You need all devices present to program them.
