Ignition can't be blocked by onstar. Is it just a no start? An 03 should not have a functional onstar, unless it has been upgraded from analog to digital. There was a special coverage adjustment to warranty to deactivate it, but that expired in 2008. Is there an LED illuminated on the mirror(either red or green)? Here is a copy of that bulletin information.

Attention: This Special Coverage has expired for all of the above vehicles.

The service procedure in this bulletin has been revised. Step 11 in the procedure for the 2004-2005 Saab 9-3 (9440) Convertible has been revised. Discard all copies of bulletin 08089B, issued September 2008.

Condition
In November 2002, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that wireless carriers would no longer be required to support the analog wireless network beginning in 2008. As a result, On Star  is unable to continue analog service.

OnStar  has deactivated most of the systems operating in the analog mode; however, there are some vehicles that OnStar  could not deactivate. Although the analog OnStar  hardware in these vehicles can no longer communicate with OnStar Â, the hardware in the vehicle is still active. If the OnStar  emergency button is pressed, or in the case of an airbag deployment, or near deployment, the customer may hear a recording that OnStar  is being contacted. However, since analog service is no longer available, the call will not connect to OnStar Â. To end the call, the customer must press the white phone or white dot button. If the call is not ended, the system will continue to try to connect to OnStar  until the vehicle battery is drained.

Special Policy Adjustment
At the customer's request, dealers are to deactivate the OnStar  system. The service will be made at no charge to the customer.

This special coverage covers the condition described above until December 31, 2008 for all non-Saab vehicles; April 30, 2009 for all Saab vehicles.
