Re: Here comes the sun, there goes the locks S80 2001

I mean "nothing" as in "nothing happens". The remote has no effect.

I have to use the key to open the door - BTW the trunk is a real pain to open by key (what's up with that!).

The key fob(s) have been replaced once under warranty (apparently a known defect in many S80s). I doubt if this failure has anything to do with

them.

My suspicion is that the sensor in the windshield partially de-laminates in the heat of the sun at mid day, then reattaches itselfs as it cools and

settles.

Any thoughts - other than cleaning out my garage?

Al
