Self-locking/unlocking - car fails to start

Cars affected

Saab 9-3

Background

It has been found that the cable between the front door handle and mounting bracket can become pinched. In some cases the cable from the microswitch in the front door handle has been squashed, giving rise to various problems with the central locking system and activating TWICE (when the car is armed).

Procedure

If the locking system is suspected of causing the trouble, remove the door handle bracket and inspect the cable. If it is squashed, change the door handle assembly.
