Removing the front door panel

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Door panel

It is recommended to disconnect the battery before proceeding with disassembly. First unhook the cover of the handle to be able to unscrew the screws underneath; using a spatula, unhook the pressure fasteners along the edges of the panel: once released, disconnect the cable from the opening lever and the sockets connected to the push-button panel (they have bayonet safety). To reassemble, proceed in reverse by first connecting the sockets to the corresponding terminal blocks, then the cable of the opening lever and reposition the panel by inserting the pressure locks in the appropriate holes; finally insert the screws and the handle cover.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
