Door lock malfunction V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Jaro on  Sun Dec 2 20:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello again!

I have another problem... When I bought my car last year, the remote control was missing... then I found that the button on the door panel (that locks and opens all doors) locks all doors, but then (when pressed again) unlocks all doors except drivers door...

Then one day (it was very cold) my girl tried to open the door on her side at the same time as I was unlocking the car from my drivers side with the key, and now the same story is with the passanger side door lock. It locks, but it will not unlock (neither by key or the button inside).

Now I have to first unlock my side and then bent over and manually open the door from inside...

It is kind of bad for me, because I have a problem with hernia, so it hurts like #### every time I

open the door for her...

Thanks again !

    My wife does tha all the time with my 740! Luckily, the resulting jam in the lock goes away if you relock the doors.

    Ask your girl to mellow out and wait for the door to unlock, or, if she is like my wife, YOU will need to refrain from unlocking the door when her hand is near it!

    Yeah, I did the exact same thing and it was discussed here a little bit last week.

    Yet another Mickey Mouse problem with my 1998 V70.

    you also have a switch on the left side dash to lock/unlock all doors so you dont have to bend over or reach across to unlock other doors. its located in a weird place so some people miss it.

    regards\

      Do you mean the switch on the drivers side door panel ?

      If you do, It is not opening the passengers door either...

      Or is there some switch that I am not aware of ?

      Thanks !

    As mentioned here recently, you need a new door latch assembly and it's become a common problem on '98s especially.
