How to Replace a Saab 9-3 Key The Saab 9-3 is a fantastic car that is full of appeal for drivers. It has good visibility and an efficient engine. It also has a great safety rating. However, it's important to ensure that you have at least two keys working for your vehicle. If you lose one key, it can be very expensive to add another one. How to Replace the Ignition Key on a Saab 9-3 If your car key won't start in the ignition and you want to replace it, you'll need to replace it. This guide will guide you through how to do it on the Saab 9-3. You will need a replacement key, a new reprogrammable battery as well as a new key-fob case. The most modern Saab models employ transponders instead of a key made of metal to unlock the car and then start it. The issue with this is that the reprogrammable batteries in the key-fob can wear out and lose charge any longer. This is particularly when you keep using the same key for the same lock. A professional locksmith can replace the battery quite easily. If you've got the right tools, and a little patience you can do it yourself. The first step is to remove the key-fob. This is done by inserting a flathead screwdriver into the slot that is located in the middle of the case. You must take your time, as the plastic is extremely thin and easily damaged. When the case is opened, you can prepare the new key by combining the lower part of the previous key with the banana and transponder on the new key. This will ensure that the new key is connected to the CIM correctly, which could make a huge difference when replacing the only key for your Saab 9-3. How do you replace the ignition Key in a Saab 900 If you don't have two keys, you'll have to remove the steering wheel and dashboard in order to access the ignition. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable. Once the battery is disconnected, you can remove all the trim pieces and dashboard pieces that surround the steering wheel. Once the dash has been removed, insert an opening with a screwdriver behind the ignition switch. The ignition cylinder is equipped with a key lock, which could prevent the vehicle from starting if it does not have the key inside it. If the ignition switch on your 900 isn't working correctly, make sure to check whether the key is inside the lock or is stuck within the ignition barrel. It's also a good idea to rotate your keys regularly and keep them clean to ensure that they don't get bent. Saab cars differ from other cars in that they don't use traditional metal keys. Instead, the car detects the electronic signals generated by the key fob through a special chip in it.

We can reprogram the EEPROM on your existing computer and make it accept new keys without the need for replacement. This will save you up to 50% of the price the dealer charges!
