If your SAAB 9-3 key fob is having problems turning the lock barrel it could be time to replace it. The procedure is fairly simple and doesn't require you to visit an agent. Instead you can complete the process yourself at home with the help of a few tools.

First, you'll need to prepare the new key. Before you begin, disable the anti-theft by placing blocks under your rear wheels, and then releasing your handbrake. Insert the key into the ignition and then turn the key to the "on" position. This will activate the accessories but will not start the engine. Repeat this procedure five times, then leave the key in the on position.

Next, you'll need to buy a new case for your old key fob. These are available at most auto parts stores and are typically extremely affordable. Based on the model, you may even get them without any electronic components.

To open up the case, put a flathead screwdriver inside the slot located in the middle and slowly work it. The case will split easily and, once you've done that, you'll have access to the internal electronics. To remove the electronics use a small flathead screwdriver and attempt to pull them out with a gentle force.
