I do not know what is wrong, just that the computer needs to be replaced.
The problem with replacing modules in the newer Saabs is last time I checked they are unavailable/backorder and good used replacements are almost impossible to find. You may have to chalk that one up as irreparable unless you know some electrical genius that can repair or create a functional replacement. (i.e. if all the module does is honk horn and turn on headlights a good electrical engineer could make a 12 volt something to do that very inexpensively. Good luck and be safe!

Is it just a "physical" fit problem?
Because if it is merely this and not your electronics you could always buy another key on ebay like this

.......then all you would have to do is pop open the casing like you were going to remove the battery, instead pulling the little circuit board also and replacing it with your own one in your damaged fob!!

Re : the computer , they better cover it under warranty or they ****.
Re : the water pump , you have a leak and they say it is the water pump , I have no reason to doubt that they have honestly checked out the problem and determined that a new water pump is the only solution but , damn $ 1000 is pretty steep. I would look around for another mechanic for a second opinion and a quote. Avoid dealerships. Not sure what engine you have but i just looked in my saab with a 2.3 and hope I never have to do mine. I am pretty good with a wrench but I know there would be lots of swearing involved.
