Door lock is not locking the Front Passenger door. How does the panel come off?

    What part of the locking sequence doesn't work? Are you using the remote or the key?
    Now that the panel is off, remove the black cover on the top left to expose the locking parts. With the door closed or the small switch in the latch pushed outwards, try turning the key in the lock and see what doesn't move. There are rods that are in plastic holders and one of the plastic pieces may have broken.

      This '99 S70 doesn't have a key on the passengers side and the door will not lock with the button, remote or electric lock.

        Uh Oh, you may have the dreaded red button disease!! Like the 850s, if someone pulls up on the door handle while the car is being unlocked - arrrrgh - the latch breaks.
        See Bay 13, especially page 2: http://volvospeed.com/Repair/v70latch1.php

          The Bay 13 procedure will show you how to repair the "Red Evil Plastic Lever".

          If you choose not to attempt that (as I did), here are the part data for my '98 V70 T5:

          p/n: Right Lock; 8628224

          Cost at dealer in March 2005: $117.97

          Either way, you have to remove the failed lock and reinstall a repaired or new one. The Bay 13 procedure is accurate. Removal may seem impossible, but trust us, it can be done.

          Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

            Lock Replacement S70

            Received my "Salvaged" lock. Erie supplied the lock with the cable from the inside door handle. Does it make sense to keep the cable attached to the replacement lock and remove the cable from the inside door handle from the one I'm removing?

            Also, the Bay 13 procedure does not address how the outside front door handle is attached to the lock assembly... Also, I think th Bay 13 photo's are from a rear door, the front door opening for the lock assembley appears to be much smaller. Are their any tricks to remove the front lock out that small opening?

              It has been a while, so memory is a bit foggy, but I seem to recall doing precisely what Bay 13 instructed me to do regarding the cable. The cable did not seem to be difficult to remove or reinstall, so I used the new one which came with the new lock. As your lock is refurbished, you will have to decide which cable looks better ... your existing one or the refurbished one.

              Note the instruction, "Release the automatic door lock connector." I seem to recall that the connector is a metallic rod which is attached to the white plastic fitting on the lock at one end and the pull-up door lock button at the other. This is one of those attachements which you should gaze at for some period of time prior to removal, so you will remember which way it goes during reinstallation. If possible, a digital image of the "before removal" condition may be helpful.

              As for removal of the lock assembly, the only "trick" I can recommend is infinitely calm patience borne of the knowledge that it WILL come out. It is like a child's puzzle: you have to twist it in just the right way in just the right plane, while standing on one foot and whistling "God Save The Queen".

              Go slow; stay cool.

    I had a thread a few weeks ago regarding a problem with the driver's side window operation, in the V70 section, in which I included a reference to an excellent mini-manual on door panel removal. This was accessed through VolvoSpeed's Bay 13, but it has since been deleted (?). I kept a copy of the file, which I'll presume to forward to you via e-mail - I'm not certain if I can attach it satisfactorily to this thread. I included a few tips on replacing the panel after the repair in my thread as well, which you might find helpful.
    Regards,
    Garth
