You need to replace your car key if it won't turn. This guide will guide you through the steps to do it on a Saab 9-3. You will need to replace the key, purchase another reprogrammable device, and buy a new case for your key-fob.

Most modern Saab models utilize transponders instead of a key made of metal to unlock the car and start it. The problem with this is that the reprogrammable batteries in the key-fob will eventually wear out and will not hold a charge for long. This is particularly true if you keep using the same key with the same lock.

A professional locksmith can replace the battery fairly easily. If you've got the right tools, and a little patience, you can do it yourself. The first step is to take the key-fob apart. This is accomplished by inserting a flathead screwdriver in the slot that is located in the middle of the case. It is important to work slowly, since the plastic is very thin and can be damaged easily.

After the case has been opened, you can make the new key by combining the lower part of the key from earlier with banana and transponder. This will ensure that the new key is mated to the CIM correctly, which could make a big difference when replacing the primary key for your Saab 9-3.
