I just purchased a 2003 Saab 9-3 at an auction, which was running fine during the sale. It had some minor water damage. The battery went dead from sitting in the auction yard, and now when you put the key in the ignition, the following message displays: STEERING LOCK MALFUNCTION - MAKE A SAFE STOP AND CONTACT SAAB DEALER. I contacted my Saab dealer and they never heard of this message. They want me to bring the car in for diagnostics. Does anyone know of a quick reset to get this message cleared, before I tow it to the dealer? thanks in advance. Tom
