Automatic Door Lock Problem 200 1989

Oh what can we do? We have a 89' 240 that is a 4 door. Within the last month is seems our automatic door locks have gone wacko. Try and lock the 4 doors and only the passenger and rear doors will lock. The driver side will not lock by key or by pushing down manually. Now the wierd part - if you use the key and open the passenger door, close it, open the trunk with the key, close it, open both back doors and close, then start the car and shut off - then in most cases the driver door will lock ALL the locks. I'm not exadurating on this bizarre ritual to get the locks to work sometimes. Now our local Volvo dealer says about a grand plus to "align the locks" !! My question is: can the automatic locking be disengaged so as to work like a normal rig where a key unlocks/locks the doors, and also be just plain locked by hand ?? Anyone else had this problem and solved it? Appreciate any help as I'm at a loss.
