- My Saab 900 Turbo Commander will not start by the key. When turning the key nothing happens and I have been starting it with a remote starter until now..
But now I want to try and fix that!

🙂Not boring at all - I admire your ingenuity!
Hi, well done great job, many thanks for all your uploads.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, how true about key problems! On my 99 Turbo I once found that I could not remove the key. I cheated and paid someone else to fix it. After your video, I have no excuse if it happens again. Many thanks.
uhh.. that 99 turbo.....
@@SeasideGarage Yes, as featured in video "saab 99 seat repair".
Your future plans sound logical, you are one of the best hands on guys I've come across on UA-cam, best wishes!!
THANKS ! Thats the kind of comment that really motivates me! :)
Thanks for the Ecard also! :)
Job well done and great video. Took me awhile to fix mine but didn’t take the entire piece apart from the car. My barrel was loose and was able to come out the ignition Thank Godness 😅
Great video, love the music reminds me of the 80's!
Just done it on mine…thanx your vid was really helpful..extra tips for the others: special tool for the triangular head can be done easily with a Dremel and a 10mm pipe wrench..use gummy or tape to have the right pattern saves lots of time to have the tool. before putting it back together on the Teflon base, make sure key is in and lock tab is turned so the gear shift tip is on the good side..otherwise you will not be able to move the key at all and I had to reopen everything…
Tack! I have this exact problem on my 99 -83 project car, now I know what the problem is thanks to you 🙏
Great fix on the ignition barrel, well done for persevering with it.
More 900 videos please, I'm restoring a 1984 900 GLi currently, which has also been off the road since 2004. Looking forward to anything on K Jet injection, because that's where I am now trying to get it to run. All the best, David
Same off the road period as the commander then! :D
Sebbo, my wife heard you in the background and said, “that sounds like Ahnold Schwarzenegger”. Now I can’t stop hearing that.
hmm... Maybe my next project should be a Opel Astralavista?
@@SeasideGarage ...baby 😀
Older cars are so much more fun to repair than modern ones. Well done on fixing that 👍
Thank you for this video! I have problem with my saab 900, ignition switch is very stiff and dosent work properly so i have to take it apart, and thanks to you, i now know how 👌 keep up putting more videos
Good fix. On my 1981 900 I had to drill a hole to access the release pin for the lock barrel as the early ignition and shifter assy's weren't made with the hole. It's an auto gbox not a manual though so the lockout setup is a bit different.
Well done! I can take my key out in any gear and any position. I probably should do something about that...
Thank you frglee!
Very interesting to see the ignition key mechanism. It must be a great feeling when a repair works so well!
Its fun to see how stuff works... or dosent work... ;)
Clever fix, and free! I like it 👍
In the fusebox there is a round service plug with 6 holes.
One of those holes has no metal contact in it. The pin next to that has 12v at it.
If you stick a wire into that pin and bridge it to the 4th pin the ignition will come on and all the dash board light will come on.
Then momentarily connect another wire from the 12v to pin 5 and that will fire the starter motor.
Your engine will now run bypassing the key switch.
Yes I found out! but thanks!
@@SeasideGarage I've got a 93 Convertible, my son had a 90 3 door coupe as his first car.
If you want any help or advice feel free to ask any questions and I'll share whatever knowledge i have.
(I've also got a 1976 450se Mercedes too if the wisdom I've picked up from that is any use)
Probably late in the day for my question, I did the weld and all works except the key won't turn to the spring loaded ignition end, if I use a flat screwdriver in the slot the car cranks, it key turns the barrel, just not fully!
Any ideas from anyone
Regards Mr el despardo
NEVER too long of a video. Great content!
Thanks!
Done this job a couple of times, the second time I went to Saab and bought the special tool to undo those nuts! Great work fixing it, I swapped it out for a new set of locks last time.
Not boring at all, thank you✌️
thanks! I have an 8 valve giving me intermittent no starter engagement; thought I was going to be stranded on a trip today but it engaged. also hope to follow any fuel pressure and starting/ correct idling work on the 8 valve!
Proper Saab. Built so well. Drive Even better . Really hope your channel makes your fortune
Nice fix! And definetly not boring :)
Good job. You can't get better than a free repair.
Yay! What an inspirational fix!!
It's so satisfying fixing something without spending money! Super cool video Seppo!
Its the best! :D
A great result being able to fix the ignition without having to find another assembly.
Niiiiiiiiiiice fix Seaside, it’s really good that you have the patience to fix things properly,great video.😊
Thanks!
Great work, love a cheap fix.
Well done 👍
Another great video. I fully agree with your comment about the smell of old cars. Great repair, well done! Please keep these videos coming, they are brilliant.
Thanks!
Excellent work on the ignition and not boring at all.
I seem to remember that my dad had front auto heat seats on his Volvo 343, really a Daf design with Volvo input. I think they only worked in winter but they were reliable.
Not boring, brilliant free repair!
Sir .. thanks for the video ! I just broke mine today :(
Had the same problem, thanks, really appricaite it
great work mate!!!
Great job with welding up this part! That's one of my favourite repairs :).
Atleast on the newer Saabs, one additional reason why the ignition barrels fail often is dirt and other stuff falling in, and then jamming the thing up. This is a Saab problem since the keyhole is facing upwards and in a pretty low spot. This is also the reason why you shouldn't lubricate these locks, since the dirt will stick to the wet oil and jam it up permanently :D
There is always a lot of bread crumbs in the locks!
your persistence is amazing i would have given up and removed the old key setup and just replaced it with something like a kit car easy key switch that you can still get hold of in parts shops
Great work, and nice video, my Saab friend.
The procedure for to get out the ignition lock barrell is by turning the key to some degree before (to the left of) the "radio ignition position" then push in the metal rod in the hole to push in a spring loaded pin inside the hole, and pull the barrell up by the key.
If the key is missing or the key is snapped off inside the ignition lock, you have to drill out in the hole with a drill bit that fit inside the hole, then you can pull and replace the ignition lock.
If you visit my channal you will find videos showing more about the ignition/gear shifter assembly.
And also many other og900 repair videos, if you havent already seen my channal.
Keep up the good work.
Regards from Norway.
Amazing video please be careful with mould on the vehicle interior, always wear a mask when you are in the car the spores can be really dangerous
I will :)
I always kinda wondered how that mechanism worked. :D Glad you got yours working! Cheers!
Great car! Great video! Thanks!
Wow, big wow, that was fantastic fault finding and repair! Feel good, you deserve it.
Great my car have the same problem.. I start now make the Restauration
I like the repair! Great stuff, and free as well! Looking forward to see more on the Saab.
Just found your channel and it's FAB...well done. Great mechanical advice and knowledge and a very Danish sense of humour (it's so similar to the English). Great mix of quirky and unusual cars too. The quirky the better! I have an old Volvo (DAF) 66 Variomatic from 1977. Dit engelsk er selvfølgelig perfekt...alle snakke engelsk i Danmark...ikke?
Jeg er gift med en dansk pige derfor skriver jeg i begge dansk og engelsk.
Happy you like it!
Uh the volvo DAF is a fun one! I have been close to getting one a few times.. its on the list!
Tak! Jo mange er gode til engelsk i DK. :)
@@SeasideGarage ..lol, ja, den er en mærkelig og sjov lille bil. One of those 'ugly ducklings' ...a bit like Trabs and Skodas. People used to mock and laugh at them but they are wonderful cars.

@@doktoruzo nice car!
@@SeasideGarage .Tak
Clever repair! The accumulator is indeed why it's hard to start. The one on my T8 was leaking too, so replaced it with another used part. Start up perfectly now!
Great video - that was very helpful. Barell and switch work again, but reverse installation doesn't work because the reverse gear doesn't go in. Do you have any tips?
Luckily the seats in the Princess don’t really need to be suitable for sporty driving….. :)
Den er så fed den saab
Enig!
Hi, who is that lovely lady on the wall, she would make a great desktop wallpaper!!
Its the sparky lady!
My brother broke the key in the ignition and I used a screwdriver to start the car. Now I have the same problem with the barrel as it gave way on starting. The barrel just spins with no accessories or starting, just spins. I have the 1991 2.1 manual do you think the same issue as in your great video. Perhaps a welding job or replacement part. Cheers John Australia.
I'd have been 19 when that ticket was issued, which feels odd cos I'd have thought you were actually older than me... :P
Im an old soul.... :P
Over Complicating an ignition switch saab? :P Lucky that the piece was made of steel and not aluminium
My ignition lock starts to act up too. Did you replace the old barrel with a new one or was it only the broken off part you welded back on?
No new parts! just fixed the old one
Godt gået:)
I hope you at some point will be able to live of your hobby! I don't see why not? If you ever hear of a local, rearengined Skoda that is kind of ok and doesn't need too much work, please hit me up (y)
Thanks ! :)
I will..! they are hard to find now...
Min far har haft 3 stk 900 og aldrig et brændt sæde, det er som regel ledningerne i sæde elementet der knækker, men det er ikke så svært at udbedre, men hvis den kun kører om sommeren så er det ikke besværet værd.
Måske virker det bare! vi må se :)
Witaj, prawdopodobnie działa. Pod naciskiem ciężaru użytkownika luzują się te łańcuszki, które pokazywałeś i sprężynka łączy przepływ prądu. Następnym elementem układu jest wyłącznik bimetaliczny znajdujący się nad gąbką a pod obiciem tapicerskim. Jeśli temperatura wokół tego wyłącznika wynosi 5'C lub mniej, prąd przechodzi na drut oporowy i pupa ciepła 😃👍
what a complicated ignition switch, that's another reason not to buy a Saab. Which of your cars is your number 1?
Complicated yet very satisfying... A Saab is a wonderful car...
My number one is hard to decide... they are all so different! The A112 is high on the list!
