Hello,
You may be able to jump start the car. If it is the battery you can probably atleast get the key and get it to turn. The proper way according to Saab back when your car was new is.
1. Remove the large fuse for the blower motor. Which is the large fuse at the top of the fuse panel on the drivers end of the dashboard.
2. Hook up the jumper cables or jump box whichever your using.
3. Turn the key and see if cranks.
4. If it doesn't start Saab had you jump the starter relay to start it. This was because the computer would not activate the relay if the voltage was to low. Often when jumping the car the voltage is below that limit.
If the key does not turn and is still captured in the ignition you probably have a different problem.
Good Luck, Bernie
