You either have a faulty central locking motor or the wiring harness may be damaged.
Remove the door panel and check if you have a live feed to the central locking motor when you use the fob to lock or unlock. If you have power, then it will most likely be the motor that is at fault.

My keyless entry for my 2008 Volvo s 40 won't work. I've tried replacing the battery but it still doesn't work. Anything I may can do before spending money on a new key.?

How are you trying to open the door , button on key fob ? With this system you can pull up on the drivers handle an it activates Antennas in the external side door handles (C30/C70 front doors, S40/V50 rear doors)
  • Antennas in the passenger compartment and cargo compartment
  • An antenna in the rear bumper
  • Quick lock motors in the lock units in the side doors
  • The remote keyless entry (RKE) receiver receives a signal from the key
  • The switch in the clutch pedal (manual transmissions) or a signal from the brake pedal switch via the central electronic module (CEM) (automatic transmissions)
  • Key-in switch.
  • Switch in door handle and lock button on handle .
    If a door handle is pulled outward, a switch closes that wakes up the system and activates the antennas in the handles on the side where the handle has been pulled out. If a valid key is within a radius of approx. 1.5 metres from the handle, the relevant door will open and the vehicle will unlock one or several doors. Which doors are unlocked depends on the settings for the system. The vehicle can also be unlocked if the handle is affected on the tailgate.

    1997 850 volvo, when i manually open door with key, the car won't start and lights flash....so now only use the remote, Now remote won't work - had new battery in remote- suggestions on how to lock doors?

    Try this trick, push the lock button once your in the car to unlock first then lock then unlock again, your kill switch is activated as anyone could unlock the door with a key, but to be linked together via bluetooth remote is exclusive and good practice if you choose to stop a thief

    Back doors locked shut. how do i open them.central locking innoperative

    Use the key fob to open the rear doors by pressing the unlock function twice. If you need reprogramming instructions, use the following:

    2002 Focus

    1. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN 4 times within 6 seconds.
    2. Turn the ignition OFF. The system will chime to confirm programming mode.
    3. Within 20 seconds, press any button on first keyless remote. The system will chime once to confirm programming.
    4. Within 20 seconds, press any button on second keyless remote. System will chime once to confirm programming.
    5. Turn ignition to RUN to exit programming mode.

    LDV Maxus 3.5 Drivers door lock initially wouldn't unlock with fob, will work with key. Now will not lock or unlock on fob. Back door will unlock with fob, but does not lock, it has to be locked

    The problem is not the actuators, the fault lies in the central locking control unit under the dashboard, behind the glovebox, on the firewall. The CLCU is mounted with the connection terminals to the top resulting in condensation going onto the printed circuit board inside, if the damage started a while ago there is only 3 ways to go.

    1. specialist firm to repair the CLCU.
    2. Replace.
    3. (As I did) buy a cheap remote control receiver with keyfob/s. Cut all wires off the multiplug, there are four pairs, a permanent live and permanent earth. Test each wire to earth on the van to identify the permanent earth FIRST. Then test pairs of wires across 12v/Earth noting which pairs actuate which lock.Isolate in pairs noting which wire has to be live to lock, (Reversed it will unlock) wire each pair into the relay on the remote receiver using the relay to changeover the polarity to each pair You will then be able to Lock/Unlock all the doors, throw the old CLCU away and mount the RCReceiver eslewhere to keep it dry. each door individually. I bought a 2 way RCReceiver and can lock/Unlock front doors seperate the the rear ones which is of far more use! Any decent electrician will tell you how to wire the relays. Job Done..... (100% Sure)

    I HAVE N REG VOLO 850 ESTATE,THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKING OF THE BOOT FROM THE ALARM KEY FOB.YOU CAN LOCK THE CAR MANUALLY WITH THE KEY,FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR,ALL LOCKS GO DOWN BUT THE BOOT...

    Its dirty, rusted or the rivets are coming loose. Open up clean and spray a little oil. If that does not help. Take a hammer and after removing the whole lock resecure the rivets with the hammer.
    IT MAY ALSO BE THAT YOUR BATTERY IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH ANYMORE AND SHOULD BE CHECKED.

    Central locking on volvo 850 1996

    Happened to me after first purchasing my 850 - check the fuse for the CLS, as mine (for some reason) was too narrow, and was jostling about. Once I changed it out for a new fuse, no problems at all (I performed this fix a year ago, and no problems since).
