I have Saab 93-2006 no convertable and I've had issue with the key where it's positioned in middle. That's an a expensive way to start. If you don't hear starter that means it's not engaging. Try taking hammer and tap on starter as it may be brushes inside and this will only be a temporary fix. Lmk if this helps
Ah, Saabs. I've owned two Saab 9000s and loved 'em both, but was happy to say goodbye. So, some suggestions:
1. Search a forum for your make/model to find out how the alarm system is supposed to work. Is it supposed to cut out the starter, or the entire electrical system? The answer to that question should help you determine whether the alarm is at fault.
2. Spray WD-40 or electrical contact cleaner into the ignition lock while turning the key back and forth several times. Sometimes, the internal connections can be dirty or sticky and a little lubrication will fix it.
3. Borrow a code reader from an auto parts store (free) and follow instructions to check your car for trouble codes (fairly easy). Then look up the codes. If the problem is a sensor or relay, it can often be a fairly simple DIY fix, and parts are much cheaper online. However, look up the repair procedure first to make sure you can get access to the part without too much difficulty.
4. Does the problem occur when the engine is cold or hot? If it only happens when the engine is hot, open the hood and wait 5-10 minutes, then try again. If the car starts after the under-hood area has cooled off, it's likely to be a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor -- in my experience, they're more likely to fail when they get hot.

There is a manual release behind the rear seat on the passenger side. Pulling it releases the tonneau motor plate away from the gears, allowing top to be raised and lowered manually.Once this release is used, the back bottom edge of the top will never seat against the tonneau again until the top is repaired.

Your tonneau motor is probably bad, though reprogramming the limits may fix it. You will need the factory tool, unfortunately. There is a lot of information on this webpage. Be sure to read the information relating to updates on 1995 models.

Had same problem, in the boot right hand side, behind the removable panel there is :
1 - a hydraulic reservoir which must be at correct level.
2 - a black box (stc) this controls the roof system,
switch ignition off then pull the 2 connectors off for 30sec then reconnect.
This worked and hope this resolves your problem

To check the oil level open the boot - at the very back remove the 4 plastic clips that hold the carpet in place. Slightly to the left of the center there are 2 holes - shine a light in the bottom and look through the top one to check the level.
To add oil - fold down the seat backrest. Remove the plastic trim - held on by 4 screws and 2 pop out plastic cllips.
Undo the 8 large bolts that hold the cover in place - 2 on top and 3 on front and back.Then lift up the cover from the front edge. You will then be able to get to the resevoir - you will need a funnel to poor fluid in.
