Just bought a used 1998 Volvo S70 (as is). Have 1 remote & it opens the car. Have 3 keys that all start the car, open trunk, but none of them can open the driver's door. That is the only door with a lock. Any ideas on why the keys won't work in the door?

Obvious and thats because someone has damaged the lock ,go to dealer and order a new lock for that door with the chassis number and change the lock ,unless the back of the lock mechanism is damaged do the keys turn in the lock and nothing happens or wont they do into teh lock??

98 Ford Taurus ignition key starts car but won't manually open trunk
I'm guessing you bought the car used this happened to me and it was because the trunk had been replaced from a wreck and thus ended up being keyed different A locksmith can make you a new key otherwise its a pain Cuz if the battery goes dead you can't open it

I need to use the key to open the trunk of my 2002 volvo s60. The remote won't open it, nor will the manual opener on the lid.
you probably pushed the lock putton on your control panel. it looks like a key in the middle of a car icon. if its lit up, press it to disengage it. it should open just fine after that

How can i open the trunk to my 1999 volvo s80 when its not opening with the key pay, or the button and i dont have a master key? I can get into the trunk from the back seat but i cant figure out how to pop...
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....

The trunk on my 2000 volvo s-40 wont open
you'll need to insert your key into the trunk lock. prior to doing this you'll need to use the automatic lock on the driver side of the vehicle, hit the unluck button twice. Torn the key in the trunk to the left, you may have to slightly press the trunk button in while doing this and give it a lttle wiggle after the key has been turneed to the left push the button all the way in, if this does not work repeat the process but reverse to the right instead of the left.

This manually disables the remote lock for your trunk.

Trunk will not open with or without key
hello theres really not many choices if you have a trunk key it should work if not and the inside trunk release isnt working either you could try to get at the lock setup from the back seat take your lower seat out remove the lower holding bolts slide up off the top lock setup see if theres enough room to work from there to pop the trunk open with a flash light and a screwdriver if not your going to have to pop the lock cylinder at your trunk once its out you can get a aftermarket replacement under $ 20 goodluck please rate
