Saab troubleshooting finialy ot the ky to unlockand motor to turn over but it will not start

Take it to a qualified repair shop. Without doing a full scan of the computers on the vehicle we'd only be guessing . You don't won't to just replace a bunch of parts .

you might need to have your computer tested first

By won't start, you mean the engine turns over and won't start or the engine will not turn over. This is an interesting problem. Please reply with the answer to the above question and we can go from there.

Sounds like your starter motor is bad. Is the starter motor spinning?

Make sure your battery is fully charged and check the teeth on the starter and flywheel.

is the trigger wire on starter (sm conn) energised when you turn key? should be close to 12v. could be bad ign switch if no power..

you may need to get the motors ckecked ot for the top, if they are week and/or old they may stop right int eh middle of lowering or raising the top, expesive to fix and you have to do both motrs at the same time...

Is the knock sensor, mass air flow sensor and all other necessary sensors plugged in? Also there is a hanger bracket on the front of the engine that shares the front two bolts of the intake manifold and there's about 3-4 ground wire terminals that attach to this bracket and the wires come off of the fuel injector wiring harness. I would check these things and any other obvious electrical connections.
