No, I don't think the existing actuators would all quit at once. You have a convertible - right? So, according to the '93 Owners Manual I have, actuation of the "Central Locking System can only be done by the remote anti-theft transmitter or by the button on the center console". Have you considered gaining access to the button/switch on the center console, remove the wires (hopefully only two) and quickly shorting them together to determine if your switch has gone bad?
Also, I cannot find any reference (Saab EPC/Bentley/etc.) that indicates the ECU is ever located anywhere other than under the glove compartment (P/N 95 29 975 or 85 91 208) - but I've never had a Convertible.
Can you access a salvage yard and get 2 salvage ECU's? That way you'ld PROBABLY have a good one to substitute into your system.
On my '93 900T I followed the procedure very carefully several times, never got any of the right readings for power. Went and robbed the ECU out of my junk '84, put it in, and that fixed it fine.
Good luck!
'84 900T - almost red
'90 SPG - red
'90 SPG - black
'93 900T - red
'99 9-3 SE - uhhh - red!
