Hi everybody,
I need help with my Saab 9000. I have 3 main problems with my door locks
- The power lock goes rock solid in minus degrees it. If it's too cold I can neither open it using the key or from inside trying manually. So I kinda have to get in to the car from the trunk (since there are key holes in the back doors) which is becoming really annoying. And once I get it in I can still not unlock the doors from inside. Which is even worse. How is the right approach to fix this or prevent this happenning?
- I was trying and I think pushed a bit more than necessary and now when I use the key on the driver side door it just turns loose. But the unlock mechanism works from inside. So I am assuming I either did break something or something just got loose inside. Any guesses what it can be?
- I tried to remove the door panel to be take my chance. I followed some instructions I found on the net (I am very very new to car related repairs). I got all the screws and bolts out except the door handle. the small door handle panel holds really tight at the bottom where the small mirror control panel is. I used a screw driver to let the upper hooks of the handle panel loose but I can't figure out how to let the bottom part loose. (other than breaking it!)
Help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
