My friend just bought a 2003 volvol s80 two days ago. the person he bought it from did not give us a remote control because he lost it. the driver door is the only door with a key hole and it won't unlock with the key at all. the only way to get inside the car is to unlock the trunk which sounds the alarm and then we turn off the alarm by starting the car. the key is all we have. please help.

This is usually caused by broken plastic parts in the lock system. The best would be to verify and lub all locks and check out the elecrical. ------- kess v2
I had the same problem in my 2002 not isn't back I got a tin of wd 40 put the straw applecateter in the key hole and give it a good dose after 10 minute it open did it again now it works fine so I did them soon to make shore try it before you have to pull the door panel apart
this is a problem that can appear after your car battery died, cause the car didn't reset propely, so taking the battery out and putting it back in or letting your car die again would do the trick. I tried a lot of reprogramming procedured for my remote key, none of them worked, what did the trick though was simply unlocking the doors via the all door unlock button on the passenger side door, so simple.
If the passkey is messed up, there will be a light on the dash that says security, or have a picture of a car with a lock thru it. If there is no light when the key is turned forward, then its NOT a passkey problem.
I had a similar problem w
recently bought 2003 S80.Several points: 1) Access your locking selonoid
through the trunk interior panel ... loosen a few hex bolts and slide
out for maintenance; 2) I fixed my lock by simply using light
teflon-based oil (like for bike chains). I exercised it a few times and
it works beautifully; 3) Not sure on your model, but gas door on the '03
unlocks when you push the associated release button under the headlight
control switch. It is not designed to unlock w the key (again, check
owners manual for your year). Hope this helps.

the fuel door on my 2000 S80 is connected with the door locks. In order
for it to open you have to unlock all the doors to the car.

Thanks
Guys,
I removed the locking mechanism and applied a little silicon graphite
and now it works like a charm.
I have recently had this problem I believe this to has been caused by a fault in the drivers door lock assembly It seems this contains the remote receiver. In my case I think there had been some radio interference being the main cause. The remote system seems to be working OK, The door lock will still not operate with the key. Remove and replace the fuse 25 resetting the ignition module. Starting the engine, switch off remove the key from the ignition, stay in the car lock the doors using the door button, press and hold the remote unlock button for approx 5 seconds, listen to see if you can hear the clicking of the door receiver when you press the remote buttons. Press and hold lock/unlock button. You may be lucky.
