Ignition - Intermittent Key Stuck In Ignition Switch

Bulletin No.: 06-08-49-003

Date: February 09, 2006

TECHNICAL

Subject:
Intermittent Key Stuck in Ignition (Check for Proper Terminal Contact at Ignition Switch Connector)

Models:
2005-2006 Saab 9-7X

Condition

Some customers may comment that the key is stuck in the ignition switch. This condition may be intermittent.

Cause

The cause of this condition may be due to a poor connection between the male and female terminals at the ignition switch connector. Wiggling the connector or wiring may duplicate the customer's concern or allow the key to be removed.

Correction

Remove the ignition switch following published Service Information - Ignition Switch Replacement. Check the ignition lock cylinder control actuator signal circuit no. 1996 (yellow wire) for proper terminal contact. If the terminal contact is suspect, replace the female terminal using P/N 15445905.

Tip:

To test the retention force of the suspect female terminal, an equivalent male terminal, P/N 15355486, can be used.

Parts Information

To obtain the terminals, contact Kent-Moore at 1-800-GM-TOOLS.
