I have a 2001 Saab 93. which is a standard trans. 4 times now, only
when i have driven somewhere, got out of the car to go shopping or
whatever for 15-20 minutes, i come back to the car and it will not
start. This never happens if the car has been sitting. It only happens
after i drive somewhere. What happens is the lights will turn on and I
will get display pannel also up and working, so i dont' think it's the
battery because the electric stuff does turn on, But the engine will
not turn on. Does this car have an ignition lock that i don't know
about and there is some trick to it? Or is there something more major?
Please help me or ask more question that i am forgetting. Eventually
the car does start up after like 25 times!!! |

I can't say for sure about your '01, but for many older (mid '90's)
SAABs that is the very typical symptom of a bad ignition switch. The
electrical (switch contacts) part of the switch could be replaced on
those and the keyed mechanical part retained. Not sure if that is true
for yours.

Sounds like a bad Neutral Safety Switch on top of the tranny. I had the
exact same problem that would occur at least a couple of times per week.
I had the switch replaced two months ago and it's been perfect ever since.

i think im an idiot, i was reading through my manual and if i hit any
button on the key when it is lock in the on position the car will start
regardless. I did that and it worked. I hope thats the onlye problem.
Has that every happened to anyone?
