The key opens. Pull the top off. The battery goes inside. A parts store can do it for you.

Saab 2003 key not recognized how to by pass to get it started

There's an antenna for the transponder receiver built into the key surround on the 9-5, it could have had a knock or be faulty.

On the 9-5 if the transponder stops working and you get a key not accepted message then you can override it by pushing the unlock button on the key remote with the ignition turned to on and it should let you start the car.

Drove car 5 days ago no problem, now I push start button and nothing happens... I put in fob and still nothing but fob slides out

Check and see if the battery is charged. It may be that something electrical was left on and your battery is drained.

2005 Saab 9-3 Convertible randomly unlocks (mostly the trunk) with horn beeps. Key fob will not lock/unlock car (battery replaced). These might be separate issues.

If this only happens when the key fob is close enough for the car to "hear" the signals transmitted from it then chances are the fob is failing. The FOB will have to be taken apart, cleaned and inspected for contamination/corrosion/stress cracks.
If the car does this on it's own even when the FOB has no battery or is too far away to be heard, then the problem could be internal on the TWICE (Theft Warning Module) or a power lock switch.
Since you said the horn beeps I would say it is most likely a FOB inadvertently transmitting signals even when you're not pushing buttons. Repair or replace the fob and you should be okay.

My 07 Pilot key fob has quit working, replaced the battery with the CR1616 like the one that was in it. Still not getting a light on the key fob when I push button. Its fob fried?

If the little light doesn't work when you push a button, it's either dead, or fried. Be sure you put the battery in correctly too.

Key fob won't unlock or lock car VW Golf 2000

You probably caused a short circuit when you changed the light. Change fuse #14. Next time, don't turn the lights on until you are finished changing the lights.
