OK, here's one....  This morning the battery on wife's XC-70(2004) was
dead and I had to jump start it.  It turned right over and I drove it
around for 30 minutes to charge it back up.  I pulled in the driveway
since today was oil change day.  A little while when I was under the
car, I heard "click....clickclick.....click......click"....    "What
is that, everythings off?"...

I got out from under the car and realized that my door locks (all of
them)  were trying to unlock themselves.  (they already were).  Every
30 seconds or a minute there it was  Click, ClickClick....

I pulled out the manual to figure out which fuse killed the door
lock.  Our friends from Sweden aren't so simple minded as us
Americans.  All I could find were 34 and 35 which were the Door Power
fuses (25A).  Pulling these stopped the FRONT door locks, but I
couldn't figure out how to depower the back doors and tail gate.

I quickly finished my oil change and took another 10 minute drive (yes
it started).   I came back and shut down.  A few minutes later....
Click...ClickClick............

As we speak, my car sits with the battery disconnected.  No sense
burning up all my door lock solenoids.

Any ideas.........

Try taking the battery out of the remote after locking all the doors.
