Driver Door Lock Won't Unlock w/ Remote or Power Switch V70-XC70 1998

My driver door lock will not go to the "unlock" position via the remote or the power switch on the door. The lock remains locked for the front door.

All other locks respond to the remote and power switch correctly.

The driver's door lock button goes down to "lock" (and the door locks) with both the remote and power switch on the driver's door.

The lock functions normally with the driver's door key for all doors.

I'm sure someone has seen this... hopefully!~

TIA

Driver Door Lock Won't Unlock w/ Remote or Power Switch V70-XC70 1998

My 98 driver and sometimes driver side rear door do this...what has happened is the little "rubber" eschucion [grommet or whatever] has been sun damaged over the years and is swolen and a bit sticky--especially when hot outside it provides to much resistance to the lock "knob" for it to unlock...you can remove the grommet and see if it works properly then. You will know if this is the problem or if the lock power solenoid is the problem.

I purchased new grommets but have not installed as the cool weather hardens and shrinks the grommets and the locks work fine.

Thanks Mike - so you are referring to the little circular trim around the lock knob that finishes the hole in the door panel?

Thanks, Madness: So this is the red plastic evil lever thing?
