Robert. Still useful 7 years later. Thank you from the UK
Glad it was helpful!
8 years later you fixed the door for my 850. Thank you robert!!!!!!
Awesome!
Going to attempt this repair now on my red 855R. Thx Robert
Nope. Looks like I'll need to find a replacement latch. 😔
Get a '96 or '97 latch. Pull the handle out to make sure the handle rod isn't broken. You can also swap the key hole over to keep your key.
I've been trying to solve this issue for 8 years. I've asked mechanics and Volvo sites but no one's actually explained what was happening. I just saw this video and 20inutes later I've been able to fix the issue. I'm blown away! Thank you Robert! So stoked.
Awesome!
Me after 7 years :D Thank you, Robert DIY :)
worked out for me! Robert, thank you for your Volvo videos, you've been so helpful cause I keep finding all the solutions to my '97 v70 problems on your channel!
Great to hear!
thank you kindly for your good advise again. honestly don't know how this car could keep going without you...
I understand.
Thanks Robert. This will fix my problem on my 850 for sure. Been "living"with it..like you said, lol
Did mine today, ten minute job. Would've had to have put up with it forever …. Thx Robert.
Finally i get somebody with some volvo sense. U have been very helpful. I have a 98 volvo s70 great car love it. I was wondering can u show a video on headlight wipers and assembly. .
Robert, thank u 4 ur helpful videos focusing on Volvo vehicles. U the man!
you are welcome.
Thank you! Was wondering why I couldn’t lock my wagon randomly! 🍻🤙🏻
Any time!
Many thanks for this video! My key doesn't even turn (remote control does work). Could I also have this problem or do you think my cylinder needs replacing. Many thanks.
Did it work last week?
@@RobertDIY Thanks for your reply. Didn't try before to be honest. Was always using the remote control.. But I had an issue when the battery was dead. Did find my way in via de turner light, so the battery is now charged again. Just tried removing the lock a bit - as shown in the first part of this video, the key still doesn't turn. Not an inch.. So I guess the cylinder the busted..
Hi Robert, Thank you for your videos. Last year, I was unable to open my drivers side door. Trying to save $$, I had a "non-Volvo" mechanic replace the interior lock component. Unfortunately, now I can only open the door with my remote. I took my car to the Volvo dealer for another issue, and had them look at the lock. Volvo told me that I need a lock cylinder back, because the "non-Volvo" mechanic broke it. Can you tell me if the cylinder "back" only can be replaced/repaired, or do I have to get a whole new component?
My guess is that you will need to replace the handle.
Thanks for the prompt response, and for reviewing my question. I was under the impression from Volvo, that I only had to either replace the back of the lock cylinder, or that there was a cap on the interior end of the lock cylinder itself. All that I know is that Volvo wants to charge me over $400.
Have you ever removed a latch from one?
@@RobertDIY No I have not.
Thanks this was exactly my problem after replacing the plastic grommets for the inside door latch. Two handy tips: Rubber cable grommets work instead of the volvo part for the inside door latch rod. In fact they work better than OEM. And velcro works to hold the leather trim panel on better than the 20 year old panel clips.
+Russell Jimenez I can never get Velcro to stick longer than a week. Maybe I will try molding trim next time.
Hey Robert. You're videos are great as usual. I have a problem with my front passenger door. It is stuck locked. I have followed all your videos on door panel removal, unsticking a lock door, changing out the lock assemble, and the fix for swapping out the heat sensing chip for a copper piece. my car is a 99 Volvo s70 and on hot days my lock were not working as they should. I have removed and replaced the heat sensing chip in both back doors and they work perfect now - thanks to you. The problem I have now is my front passenger door. It lock a year ago and I've not been able to open it. As I said I followed all your videos but this lock will not undo. There are the brass tabs inside the lock assembly if I push the tab near the outside, my door handle moves out with no affect. If I push -or- pull the inner tab, still no affect (all parts of the unit are in the unlock position)There is a video on youtube that tells you how to remove the exterior door handle in order to pop your door open, but the video doesn't show you how to remove the exterior door handle. Do you have a video for removing the exterior door handle? I have looked and looked. Now I'm just frustrated. Anything you can offer would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much.ShellyAlso, if you need any tools let me know. See what I can do.

does the door panel need to be removed in order to remove latch handle & locking cylinder? I need to replace locking cylinder from old door to a "new" door.
Yes.
Thanks so much. This worked perfectly!
Hi Robert. How do you remove and refit the exterior door handle?
drop the door latch. I made a recording of it today.
Thanks this really helped me, I have a few questions and maybe you can answer it:
- The master lock doesn't lock the rest of the doors or unlocks them, while it should.
- I got four electric windows that the buttons don't do anything, what is the easiest troubleshooting or self fixing before going to a garage?
- My lock in the back of the trunk is loose.... How can I lock it and have it in place? What part do I need and how 😆
Kind regards from a fresh Volvo 850 owner
Probably a bad relay.

Thanks, Robert. I have a '04 V70R wagon that has the exact problem. However there is no screw in the door edge as shown in the video. There are a couple of plastic plugs. The plug holes are very small (a bout 3/8 inch) and I can't see the inside.
Do I have to pull the door panel to access the handle+latch assembly?
Not sure how those are made.
Robert
I will try to remove the door panel to see how. Thanks anyway.
Thank you so much, I will get it done tonight.
You are welcome.
Robert, Please help. Went to get out of a volvo 1996 850 and none of the inside door handles would open any of the doors. Had to roll windows down and open door with outside handle. Any ideas? Thanks Michael
all at one time? Wow!

Dear Robert,
I need to remove the front left lock cylinder. The lock cylinder is broken, someone tried to open the door with a screwdriver and destroyed the lock. It is not possible to insert the key. Is there a way to remove the lock cylinder from the handle without inserting the key?
I don't think so. 😞
I have this problem where the lock won't move at all with the key could this still help with my 850?
Is the key going all the way in?
If it's a sudden issue, probably a latch gone bad. Does it work on the other side?
Hey cheif, I left my keys in my Volvo 1998 s90, any ideas how to get em out?
Use a spare.
Freaking awesome ❣️ I needed this Thank You your so knowledgeable!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Robert, Thanks for posting the video. It helped me a lot. Was exactly the problem. But, I found out that the pin which goes into the latch is broken. How can i fix it? If I change the locking system only at the drivers door is there a problem with the key? How can i get the handle out?
Thanks for your help.
Not sure if I have a good video for the handle replacement on the 850. You can search for it. I may try to make another.

How can I get the ac fixed on a 1992 volvo 940?
take it to a Volvo shop.
Hello to all out there, I am Darin Nydoo from South Africa. I am the 2nd owner of a 1997 Volvo S70T5 which I have purchased in 2001 primarily for my wife. She loves the comfort and the safety of the volvo.
I try to do all repairs by myself as it is long out of warranty. I had a conrod (no 3) come loose of the crankshaft and cracked the block. This occured whilst with my family doing 120km using speedo cruise.
I have hauled the engine and have began to disassemble it. I would like to know if you have a clip on how to strip and reassemble the block for this engine.
Nope
Heya Robert, as always a great video going to try this tomorrow. Would this problem make the lock unturnable via the key. Or should you be able to move the key in the latch, even if it's not sitting correctly.
The key will still turn.
My s70 year 2000 the cental lock isnt working so I have to lock and unlock 1 by 1 each door.. Can u help.. Thx
What does "isn't working" mean?
@@RobertDIY I mean it doesnt work, the power door lock is doesnt work. From driver side when I push the switch there is no power at all but from the passenger side it has power little bit I just hear sound but still the door wont lock.. Also if I lockbor unlock with key from out side
So, if you are standing outside the door, and ALL of the doors are unlocked, and you turn the key to LOCK, now many of the doors LOCK?
@@RobertDIY none of them.. Seems now electricity..
Probably the relay.
I have a 2002 V70 with a door lock problem. I hope you can help. The key fob is long gone, so I use the key to lock and unlock via the only key hole on the car... the driver's door.. It seems to be motorized and unlocks/locks all the doors at once, all except the driver's door that is. The interior lock post on the driver's door seem to lift a little when I turn the key, but when I release the key it goes dowen again and the driver's door isn't unlocked. So to open the driver's door I have to open the rear door and reach forward to pull up the interior lock post on the front door. Any ideas? Thanks!
Can you open it with the key turned? Probably a bad latch.
How do I pull the latch out? Can u guide me on how to do this?

Hello sir!
I think that is my problem on my XC70 Volvo 2001, but how to open de door if the key won''t open the door first? No battery and when I turn the key the door is not opening...Please help me!
Bring it by
@@RobertDIY hello mr. Robert! I would like so, but I live in Brazil.
Any chances you could help me with some tips. Impossible to open using the key, even to open the car to change the battery.
Greetings
Not sure what to tell you if the key doesn't work. Some of them have a plug in the rear hatch that you can pull to use a key back there. Are you locked out?
@@RobertDIY that is the problem, I'm locked out and there is no plug or key-lock at the hatch also.
and I don't know how to open the car now to change the battery.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
Hey Robert, got a question for you -
My power locks haven't been working properly. Sometimes when I put the key in, and turn it twice, nothing happens. It's not super consistent, sometimes it takes just one or two tries and it works, sometimes I sit there trying it for 30 minutes to no avail.
I figured it was the actuator, replaced it, and all seemed to be working, but it just happened again.
Is there anything else that might be causing this issue?
I have a 98 V70
Are they failing to unlock or lock?
@@RobertDIY I guess I haven't tried locking it with the key. It all works fine with the switch on the door, it's just when I try to unlock it with the key.
Hallo, my Key is Stuck in the Door, I can close the Door but the Key dose not turn Regards Sterling
Yikes! You'll have to turn it somehow to the proper position to pull it out, or break it off. :(
Wet good explanation
Thanks for watching
Thanks
You are welcome
Hey i have a problem that every time i open the doors with the key then the trunk pops, what to do? Also the handle at the back to open the trunk does not work
What kind of car do you have?
Great video! Been dealing with this problem for awhile so I'm very excited about using your tips to fix it. Had one question before I remove door panel: My automatic locks still work, but key won't unlock font door... Will this fix that issue or do I have another problem?
Huh? If this is the problem it has.
Robert DIY Apologies if my comment was confusing... my question was: since my automatic door locks unlocks & locks my door (my automatic locks work) but my key does not open or lock the drivers side door, will this video help or does my door have another issue?
Yes.
Thx man!
You are welcome.
Thanks this was exactly my problem Very Nice
Thanks for watching.
Have a different problem key lock won't turn to open doors was working before. Central locking works fine
What kind of car?
Robert DIY it's a V70 1999
+Kevin Forteath do you have another key to try?
Robert DIY yes tried both other keys will need to strip lock out. Do I need key in barrel when removing the lock
How long ago was it working?
You have saved me tons of $$$$ following your Vids. Pretty versed on my vehicle, but I have a question. What is the "technical" name for that Pin that goes in the Handle? I need one for my '97 850 T5. Thanks in advance!
I don't know what pin you are referring to. 🤷🏾♂️
@@RobertDIY The Pin that goes in the Handle that allows you to "dual lock" the Door. It's that long pin inside of the Handle itself. Looks like a Jailer's Key.
At what time stamp?
@@RobertDIY 1:32-1:50 and 2:13-2:17 Shaft/Pin
Many thanks from Sweden. I have same problem with my V70 🙂👍
