this vehicle is new to me. the previous owner did not use the keyless
entry/anti-theft.
i replaced the battery in my keyfob, but the car is not responding.
i looked under the seat for the fuses for the alarm system, but didn't
see anything beyond the usual fuses and the hydraulics for the top.
can anyone give me an idea of what i am looking for? or where else it
may be?

thanks!

I'm not certain that this is a standard SAAB thing, but if it is hopefully
someone who knows about it will show up. I would contact the company whose
alarm immobiliser it is - you might be able to pay a little at a local
installer to have the warranty on the system renewed. That way, they'll
overhaul the system and deem it fit for purpose and probably give you a new
service booklet - a lot of systems need to be checked each year to continue
to qualify for the Thatcham specification.

Anyone else add anything?

had to be reprogrammed with a Tech II. I assume the frequency got
changed. The handbook does warn about this if you touch the circuit
board inside, when doing the battery.

for the back speakers. You may need to lift the carpet up a bit to see
clearly.
You may need to clean off the little carbon filled rubber button dammits
inside the keyfob. Had that one happen to me twice now. Is the anti-theft
switch turned off? The book calls it a service switch and it is supposed to
be under the passenger seat, likely location for North American cars. Do
the interior lights work properly? The keyless lock system works with the
interior light switches on the door, trunk (boot), and hood (bonnet). If
the relay,151, that controls that stuff doesn't work properly the keyless
lock system will act stupid. With luck some prior owner didn't disable the
whole system.
