Volvo S60 Door Lock Actuator (check recall before you replace yourself!) 

Właśnie może ktoś wytłumaczyć jak zwolnić te zatrzaski okna bo nie wiem czy się wciska czy kręci

I have the 2012 S60 and when I called the dealer they said I have to bring it in ($150 minimum charge) then they will let me know if it's covered under warranty. I guess I'll try that first but happy to see this video if it doesn't get fixed by Volvo.

@@JerriStracenerAthensGA was it covered? I’m having the same issue

I have not checked with the dealer but online my gf vehicle said there were no recalls. So I proceeded to replace it and after the whole ordeal it didn't fix it. Tomorrow I'll see what the dealer tells me.

In theory yes, the motor can be changed. However, there are no screws that allow for disassembly of the unit. It has pins that are pressed into place and have to be drilled out. I basically broke it apart to see if the motor was bad and could be replaced. The motor was in working order on this one so the problem was in the electric board.

sasamykolors It sounds like the sensor in the door handle is going bad or there is a short in the wiring from the handle to the controller. Start with cleaning the backside of the handle where the sensor is. If that doesn’t help you will likely have to replace the sensor in the handle. I’m not certain, but I suspect you have to buy the handle and sensor as one unit.

Todd Burris I see. Thanks for the reply my friend. Good day

Hi,I'm having the same problem as yours, just that mine is a XC60. I was wondering where's the sensor that triggers the locking mechanism to unlock when you pull the door handle. How did you manage to fix the problem may I ask. Thanks

Thillai Ambalam i never quite figured it out but I’ve found that over time it just fixed itself. I wouldn’t say completely fixed but it seems to work now more than not, and it just kinda goes off and on. I don’t think it’s something you can do yourself although I’ve found simply getting in the habit of touching the door next to the drivers door would solve the annoyance. I’ve used my back door as the touch unlock before I got to the drivers door and got into the habit of it until the problem kinda resolved itself

@@skmk88 thank you for your kind response, will try your method if it works. 👍

Marwan, sorry for the delayed response. The book says it is the same procedure but when I looked at the rear door I didn't see the hole for the t25 screwdriver. It is hidden behind the gasket or door seal. I had to pop one of the connectors out in order to get the screwdriver in. The only other difference is there is a 3rd screw that has to be removed in order to get the outer panel off. It is hidden behind a rectangular plastic cover on the panel facing the front of the car.

Thanks for getting back to me. I managed to figure it out. Even though you don't have to pop a connector out to access the hole I ended up doing that because it's easier. You have to fish for that screw and having the rubber seal pressing against the screw driver doesn't help. I might have forgotten to put that one panel screw back. Oh well...In any case, for those of you doing the back window, I have some pointers:1- Do get a 4" T25 screw driver. A T25 bit with a driver might (a) fall inside in the process and (b) the driver might be too short or stubby.2- The window height is about 4.625" to access the tab to push and release glass. There is only one tab in the back, not two like the front.3- Window remains in frame rails (does not come out like front) so use duct tape to keep it up. Have duct tape ready to apply before releasing glass.4- There is no cable attached to outer handle like the front, all is inside the mechanism attached to inner panel.5- If handle mechanism comes off inner panel it slides back in place (there are 4 guides) so do not fret.6- The inner panel will require a bit of force and finesse to take out since the lock actuator is snug in the door shell.7- Back door actuator is not held to inner panel by clips but rather by a T25 screw in one side. The other side looks like you insert a peg in the panel into a hole in the actuator but in my case the peg sat outside the hole. Make sure to visually inspect and take note how old actuator sits before removing it.8- The new actuator might come with a rubber shipping insert that would prevent lock from operating MAKE SURE to take it out before reassembling inner panel back in place.In general: Complicated as it may look, it really is simple and well thought of for the most part. Unless you break something it will all assemble and disassemble easily so if something does not work go back and examine it and make sure all is in place.

hey im having the same problem with my door handle it wont go down like its supposed to did u work anything out to fix yours

Hi Kevin. I couldn't do it also. The window has a totally different mechanism. Please help with rear door!!!!

@@rauls7997 Ive got a solution, the entire processe is pretty much the same, there’s a hidden screw up top in towards the car on each side off the inner door panel. Other than that, I couldn’t manage to get the window out but in order to replace my speakers and so whatever else you have to do there other that actually replacing the window it self, you can just loosen it and then tape it using any strong tape to the top frame/edge of the door it self, you simply just like hang it over and have the tape taped to each side of the windowglass over the door, hanging. That worked for me hope it helps

@@kevinbacklund3115 thank you for the solution. I will try it!

You will likely have to take the inner panel out to make sure all of the broken pieces are out of the car. You can release the back cover of the door handle with the t25 screwdriver without actually lifting the existing handle out. Once you get it out of the car it's easy to see how that works. While it's out of the car you will need to loosen that screw back into place, pull the handle out (or where the handle should be) and tighten the screw to lock the handle mechanism. If it isn't locked into place the handle will not lock into position when you try to install it.

Probably a foulty door lock motor actuator, they use cheap Chinese electric motor there it's a shame

2007 s80 same problem . Super annoying especially when its negative temps

It helps to pull up on the window while pushing in the tab. I found it very frustrating trying to do it by myself but it can be done.

Yes, it should be the same.

Yes, same procedure.

If the door is unlocked it should open from the outside. It sounds like the electric switch isn’t unlocking the door. When you open from the inside it does unlock. Perhaps the door control module isn’t connected or is defective.

Did you sort this? I'm having the same problem.

@@AdventuresWithEllie Hi, any idea about how did you fix it ? Thanks

@@IbbyKS It fixed itself in the end. I kept opening the window and pulling inside and outside handle at the same time. It would work for a while then would revert itself back to staying locked. I kept doing it for a few weeks, then it must have fixed itself, as its been working as it should for a good while now. I turned off auto locks as you pull away, i think that helped it.

@@toddburr Any idea how did you fix it Todd? Thanks

Reply via my whats app no +264817830586

Yes, they will replace all four locks for free.

Todd Burris thank you I also have another question so my sunroof is kind of acting up I have to push it up to tilt position then it kind of won’t go back down and then I have to push it forward I’m pretty sure my Volvo’s sunroof is automatic but mine is messing up

Contact your nearest dealership

Matt- what did they say? the recall seems to only be in the USA - but of course cars from around the world are all affected!

It should be exactly the same for the v60.

170mm in the front and 110 from the rear.
