steering lock malfunction "bypass"
Steering lock malfunction bypass. Not guaranteed to work on all cars.
This is not a proper fix all problems should be repaired to standard.

What did u do with the steering module?
Thanks, this thread really saved me. I was able to get the keys working again by pulling the switch and pressing the unlock button a bunch of times. It took a few tries and I don't remember the exact sequence, it's working now and my mechanic said it all checks out *fingers crossed*
99% of time a poorly charged battery causes this. It happened to me. I looked at fitting a bypass switch but realized the car had not been driven for over a month. Charged the battery did the key in key out thing from the video, and off it went no problem. Been starting well ever since and i run the car once a week to keep battery charged.
This still wouldn’t start my car
Hi!! I connected wires to spade connectors. Do I simply remove fuse and plug in my wires with spades?? And do I leave switch in "ON" position to start??
It can be a problem on SAABs , had it myself, but battery or fuse pull will sort it out. One day it may not work though and then it's CIM replacement time, which needn't be too expensive and can even be done at home if you can get hold of a Tec2
No, never! To change CIM, you need a online-security clearance from the manufacturer. Car is asking multiple times during the process, to make sure, you are legit.
When you push the key to close and open the doors for between 5 and 10 times (don’t know exactly how many times, just try) you get the same result.
What kind of black magic is this?😮
Hi I have a Saab 9-3 03 vector sid is saying key not accepted, have transponder codes key turns but no crank tried to jus a jumper the car cranks but no start gets spark for a few seconds and it stops getting sparks ? is it the ism?
Здравствуйте это просто снять придохранителеь и втавить обратно я так понимаю
it does work for me :-(
I had the same problem bought a working used ignition switch from e Bay £40 45 minutes to fit no more problems
Got an ignition switch off eBay as well, still broken
Hello this work even the key fob is broken?
do you know how to trouble shoot the 2004 model? there is no switch in the 2004 arc american model
I added the switch just pull the fuse out and put it back in.
Por favor mirar de que pueda escuchar en castellano Idioma español. Gracias
If you install a new ignition switch does it need to be programmed
Ignition switch is plug and play so no.
I got it started but the steering is still locked !
No need to add a switch, just take your battery leads off and leave it for 5 to 10 mins, the car will then reset when the leads are placed back on the battery...then just get in and drive off! 🤷♂️
Yep works the same thou your method not much help if you are out or stall it 😉
@@mrmarcd5100 why would it not work ? Its not going to lock again if u stall it 🤔
Didnt say it wouldnt work. Once the module goes altogether using your method the owner would have to disconnect battery and wait 10 mins everytime they want to start the car. A more convenient way is to pull the fuse on passenger side fuse box an even more convenient way is to fit a switch so you dont even have to get out car .👍
Where to buy the switch? Is it a special switch?
Nope you can get them in any car maintenance shop or ebay.
Or your Battery is on its way out.
I had a guy from the saab shop tell me to touch the position and neg together for 60 seconds and it could reset the computer. Should I try it?
It works for me to! Was just about to junk my SAAB, but all is good. But was a bit confused at first being a Yank and all.. For your steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side of the car to me
😅
Mine does this randomly all you have to do is try to start it again and it eventually goes away and works. For me atleast
Cause idk if the automatic has the switch
Those this work on the is version
Hello, I have to repair the Saab 93 from a friend with this problem. I would like to know if the wires behind the fuse holder number 2 are easily accessible. I only have a soldering iron, wire and a switch available. Thank you
You would have to take fuse box out or try to crimp to the wires. Easier to just use small spade prongs and insert them into fuse holder.
i know is more simple thanks you !!
Man I got a two prong switch wiring ect ect just need to know how you wired up I can’t figure out how!!!!
Make a loop with wire with a fuse and switch in the loop
@@mrmarcd5100 and one wire going to the negative battery side From the #2 fuse right?
Please someone tell me how I bought all the pieces
Hey man I’m years late but can you anseee a question.
Wats up
Thanks! This fix Worked for me
Glad it helped
A friend had a slightly older model SAAB and this worked for him. In the owners manual there was an image and a table near the back that described all of the fuses. The fuse will be a 5 amp that says something about the ignition/steering column lock. FYI for us, reseating the fuse fixed the problem permanently (so far for a week or so). Also I was able to leave the fuse removal too clipped to the correct fuse and put the cover back on in case he has to do it later. Thanks alot!
Glad it helped
I opened that plastic cover next to the seat, and there is no switch like yours(Saab 93 year 2006). The key won`t turn and it says steering lock malfunction. any ideas to make it work ?
I bolive the person but a aftermarket switch
No you can add the switch to save pulling the fuse all the time. Take fuse out put it back in and it start.
What if the keys aren’t programmed to car will this work
No
Thanks for your video. Just got stranded at work couple hours ago and just now fixed it. I am curious though, how did you know it's the control module
Can only be cim or ignition switch the ignition switch is a plug and play tried it in my other saab where the cmd works and worked.
i have rebuilt the ISM on my 2007 saab 9-3 i bought a new immobilizer key and had it programed , still am not getting a ignition start , the key does turn , but i get a Non ecu not connected signal i will try this trick tommrow hopefully it will save my saab !! i didnt know which fuse was the control now i do ,, thanks very much ,,
Thank you! I'm literally about to go on holiday and needed to know this.
Always wondered why you guys call it “holiday “and not “vacation”. Lol
If you need to ask a question on how to do this or replace this/that fuse or put a switch in, you shouldnt be fucking with your car.
I’m not even having this problem I’m just on a Saab video marathon
What a weirdo you are
What is the fuse number?
top left 5A fuse, just under the top 15A one
Hi I replaced the ignition, I replaced the key, now I have the same message, but the car is driving, on Monday, December 17, 2008, the car goes to the saab center, for computer diagnostics, Saab is an amazing car.
If everything working you might just need the error clearing.
Removed and re-inserted fuse number two (Same as toggling the switch he added) in order to reset the CIM which allowed me to start the car.. I am sure the issue will come back... Starting to have way to many issues with my 2007 9-3 so think it's time to go car shopping. Thanks for the tip.
Yeh common problem i got rid this saab in the end.
where does wire on toggle switch go to ism what color wire
I put small spade connectors on wires and fitted them into the 2nd fuse housing. You can wire it to the back of fuse box to the wires if required.
I don’t even have that switch
Just take the battery leads off and wait 5 mins, the car will reset and away you go...simple and no need to install a switch!
Hi everyone this shit did not work on mine, what actually worked was to disconnect the battery, wait 3-4 min and connect it again, than you should be able to start your car and drive, make sure to drive 10-20 min, if you experience the same problem than try again a couple of times and than it should work.
I'll try the battery cuz also not working for me
Reset the position 2, 5 amp fuse in the driver side dash fuse box, key fob works, engine starts. Interim of an hour come back to locked car, key fob won't work. The fuse reset sets the CIM to true, and then after time elapse returns to false? Thoughts?
Hi scott yes if the cim is faulty it will keep failing and you will have to keep pulling the fuse. This is why i fitted a switch that makes it easier to flip the fuse .
You say under the turn on and off is a fuse then two wires going two the second fuse! Can you explain way? That you supply power to the fuse or ground ? Let me know please is a friend that have the same symptoms in a 2003 Saab with the stirring lock malfunction !! Nice video !!! Guy!
take out the fuse from the fuse box, make a wire loop with a switch and a fuse in it then plug the loop into where you took the fuse out the box. all it does is allow you to turn power on and off to that fuse.
Thank you !!!
We try today and don’t work! All we do was to put a on and off switch ... one question you should have voltage in the fuse at all times? Just too let you know the symptoms are identical of your video! Including the year off the car! And the same message steering lock malfunction! If you remember something can help with this situation I will appreciate! Thank you in advance! Guy!
the fuse will be the same voltage as the one you take out of the fuse box. have you tried resetting the module by taking fuse out and putting itback in first to see if it resets.
Omg thank you, I was stuck at a Kroger parking lot without my Saab tool bag XD omw home now thanks to you broski
glad it helped.
You, good sir, are a genius! May glad tidings come your way because you have made my day! I can't wait to tackle this problem on our lovely 06 9-3 that annoyingly just won't allow the key to turn. In addition to its other annoying as hell problems. As I understand it, I just need to rig a switch to de-energize that particular fused line of elec current then re-energize it, and bloody all should go bloody well!! [Laughing manically]
hi mate. switch is to save hassle of taking car apart everytime you start car. pull fuse put it back in and bingo. hope it helps.

EXELENTE RECOMENDACIÓN AMIGO!! También tengo un saab 93 turbo y no encontraba como arreglar este problema, y aunque no hablo ni entiendo el inglés; la explicación visual es perfecta y pude arreglar mi carro gracias a tu video desde hace ceis meces y ya estamos a jueves 1 de marzo del 18, y mi carro sigue corriendo conmigo... Gracias y Dios te bendiga dondequiera que te encuentres; y si tuvieras posibilidades de traducirlo a otros idiomas podrías ayudar a muchas otras personas como a mi me ayudaste__ Gracias otra vez..
Looking to buy the switch on Amazon now. Can you tell me how you wired it to fuse? Or used a Fuse Splitter of some sort? Can you help me with parts please. This will work for my 9-3 Aero 2004.
TheMainSilverSultan hi tbh you can get all parts from Halfords. Any switch will do, attach a wire to the switch add a small space connector to other end. Add a second wire to other side of switch attach fuse in fuse holder to wire, add 3rd wire to fuse holder and add small space connector to end of wire. Plug both spade connectors into fusebox socket makesure they not touching. You could get rid the spade connectors and wire the wires into the back of the fuse box.
Marc Dobson thank you for the writeup. Ordered a switch and will wire it up as soon as I get it. Tired of looking like Im hot wiring the car every time I stop at a store 🤣🤣 Thanks for video.
How can you start the car without pressing the clutch pedal ? You bypass that too ? Fake .
Jocelyn Da Boss. You don't need clutch down to start a car if it's not in gear.
Marc Dobson there is normally a safety switch under the clutch ...
