2001 Volvo S80 trunk pops open by itsself

its were you stick the key in trunk,if u look under there its a black spot there u have to pressed it then it will pop open..

Sometimes you can let down the back set of a Volvo and get into the trunk. Some trunks are equipped with a trunk release to open it. See if the back seat will let down.

have a power supply connected to the acc, in the vehicle,

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. master_pre08-04-2007, 09:35 AMYeah, 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. Sssnake08-14-2007, 03:39 PM Thanks Guys,

I removed the locking mechanism and applied a little silicon graphite and now it works like a charm.

if you look at the key there is a ridge running down the centre, the length of the key .it is this which stop you using it to open the trunk.ask a keysmith to grind it off......or buy a new key without the ridge.then turn key to the left or right to set lock to open with remote....

on the trunk there is a key hole buy the back lic plate there may be a little cap you need to pop off to see the key hole

This would be a bulb problem. You can open up your trunk, pull back the liner, and find the screws that hold the lens on, remove the screws, pry off lens and then push in and turn counter clockwise to remove the bulb. Then the new bulb pushes in and turns clockwise to lock in place.

Most likely the fuel door latch motor has failed. Pull down the trunk liner panel for that side by turning the knob next to the rear seat fold down 45 degrees. That will allow the panel to be pulled down. the latch is the small black box against the car body. It should have a manual release to get it open. Once open take out the two T25 torx screws and the motor will come out. Pay attention to how the manual release is routed and reassemble in reverse order.

hope this helps

I had a problem with my ambient air temperature sensor and the passenger side door lock. I was told that I needed a control module and that my battery was bad. When I replaced the battery, the module reset and everything started working again. Try disconnecting the positive cable from your battery and or having it checked at a local auto parts store.

hi ali, im so car illiterate :) what is the boot area?
