- The method displayed in this video is the only method vaild for 2008+ cars, it does work on -2008 cars beside another method (a little bit easier) where you take out the door handle instead of the window slide.
Well done. Did this last week. The WIS method has the front glass channel and the glass panel removed, so this way is less work. Two suggestions: remove the window control module from the trim panel (easy) and leave it connected to the wiring; use a piece of tape on the top of the window to make it easier to pull it up to re-connect it to the window lift. Also, the door lock module can be disassembled and repaired. The pin connections between the motor and the board loose contact. You just bend/twist the pins to make contact and then put it back together with screws where the plastic rivets were.
This comment is GOLD!
Even better than the video.
I searched soooo long for a tutorial like this. But now I find it 2 months too late. Thanks UA-cam. I Actually found that you don't need to remove the window. You just have to move it up and down a bit to get the rail back in place.
Great help! Thank you! I had a lock on a 2009 Saab 9-3 that has never worked as long as I've had the car for the past 5 years. Now it's working. I found it was critical to get the "straw" as far into the lock cylinder as possible. Once I did that and soaked it several times, with carb and choke cleaner, it finally started turning. Huge piece of mind to have a functioning lock in the event that the fob doesn't work or the battery dies with the doors locked.
Great to hear that jeff ..
Thank you for the nice videos. I've used your way to fix my front and rear passenger door. I can't help but say it's so nice to find this channel to fix my father's saab 93. I've learned a lot from you.
Good job, I find a heat gun helps when removing vapor barrier. 👍
You've done this before!
I wasn't expecting all the window parts removal.
Good to watch a pro
Typey1 Thanks, it’s a very common failure, you can get away without removing the window pieces on -2007 cars, but it is a must on 2008+ ..

Was your problem the door wouldn't lock/unlock?
My 93 06' has intermitant failure to lock on the front drivers door sometimes, thanks!
Typey1 that’s usually the first signs, when it’s sunny and warm outside tend to stop working because the motor is already overheated, or after you look/unlock few times stops working.
Eventually will completely stop with no codes stored
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY is this for the front doors as well? having to remove the window?
warhog93 no, front doors are not required
Excellent video!!!Details at all!Thank you!!!
Holy cow what a work up just to get a door lock out. Very interesting but not a 5 minute job for sure!!!
I love my saab 🥰
do one on downstream o2 sensor.. just did that.. it was a joy.. little room to work with that offset socket.
There are nine billion eight hundred and fifty two million four hundred and sixty three thousand and two videos on UA-cam (I know, because I have watched nearly all of them) but this is the only one that shows the dismantling of the window to get the blooming lock out of the blooming door of a Saab 9-3.
My lock still works... but hesitates and causes the only SID on the whole car (Lock System Failure... contact Service), so it is a fix I must undertake... If I had been recording my fix it would be 8 hours long by now and I am still not half way through it, nor do I have a plan B replacement... and the washing line is holding the door closed... so I am buggered when her indoors goes to do a wash... this might very well be my last ever post!
Tired of my damn alarm going off for nothing
Dit it today, thanks a lot!!!
Thank you!
Too many parts removal just to access the lock module? I have 2004 saab 93. I wish i can remove it simple
I’ve got a lock cylinder to replace, (2010 9-3 XWD) and my first attempt I couldn’t quite figure out how to get the cylinder itself out. The door will lock with the hard key, but is frozen when trying to unlock with it. Any suggestions? I followed WIS but it lead me to a dead end.
Good video. Thanks.. i will have to do this job on mine, since i always get 'lock system failure' everytime..
That could be something else as well, check ur DTC’s for good measures
So i have a faulty lock on my 93, and the door is shut does anyone know hot open the door without using force there has to be some tab or lever to pull?? thank and great video
Hi, nice video! Any idea on how to open doors if rear door is stuck. Central lock is working, but when I pull handle neither from outside or inside its not opening? Have 2008 9 3 salon.
U can remove the rear door trim panel easily with the door shut, and from there reach with ur hand into the lock levers and find which one opens it
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY thx again, I was looking unlocking it for a while and it opened finally 😁 changed to new lock following your video 🙂
is this also for a 9-3 2004 model? is there a way to remove it without touching the window slide?
Great Video, any tips on getting the door open if it's stuck in the locked closed position?!
Front door or rear door ? Did u have the child lock ON ?
Front door passenger side, no child lock customer aware of.
-Cyru5- well, there is no easy way to do it other than removing the inner panel from inside (which may require the removal of the seat) and then destructing the door lock (i used a hammer 😬)
I apologise. The customer informs me three doors are locked shut. The only reason drivers door works is because of the key. Possibly a different module?! Customer would just be happy to get passenger door operable.
No worries. That's what I was thinking... Thanks for your help!! Cheers from Australia
Can u do one on the fuel gage sensor
I will definitely put this on my list. Thanks fir the suggestion
Whats the other method for pre 2008 cars?
Remove the door handle instead of the window, and take the lock out through the door handle opening
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY Wait it fits through the door handle really?
@@bobdavid343 yes .
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY Wow never thought of that, I assume there is no videos of this method lol. I need to change mine but don't really fancy taking the window out
What exactly did he do to it though
Hi there, correct me if im wrong, but i understand you wana know what was the symptoms ? If that what you mean, the lock was intermittent, so sometimes will work and sometimes not, I previously checked and it was receiving electrical power so my diagnosis was bad lock.
The Flying MechanicDIY I got that part I just didn’t noticed what was the solution, I’m sorry if u repacked it with s new one and I missed it. Thx
While I have you here can I ask what you used to clean the outside of the power string pump and it’s reservoir on ur other video.
Yaa, it was just replaced by a good used part.
zesowl i use WD40 to rub and brush the dirt, then brake cleaner to flush all that.
