I am Having trouble getting into my 1999 Saab 9-5.  The key goes in just
fine but will not let me turn it either direction. I put a little more
force on it and it broke loose and spun around but nothing happened to the
locks.  I have heard a few stories about a deadbolt mechanism that is
activated when the door is locked from the outside when the passenger side
door is open.  I was wondering if there was any truth to this.  Also the
temperature has been below freezing for about a week but I have been
locking it and unlocking it on a daily basis util it locked up on me.  Any
information would be greatly appriciated.  Thanks

I have just recently come across an 88 isuzu trooper with no key to the
ignition.  Is there anyway to have a key made from the VIN number?

Probably, but did you maybe intend this to go to a different group?

There is, I just checked. There's alt.autos just about any brand you can
think of.

or 4x4 Car, Suvs & Trucks - top of the index.
Meanwhile, why not visit a locksmith. IME good ones can usually scan a
lock and then cut a key to the right blank. Else you could just pull the
barrel with a slidehammer and then use a screwdriver, but that sort of
attracts Police attention when they stop you for a random check and see a
dirty great screwdriver on the console and the ignition lock missing ....
I was actually driving my recovered but lockless stolen vehicle home
having started it that way when it happened to me!  Cheers
