Hi Volvo Fans:

Okay tell me what is going on with my door locks....

I have a 2001 S80 T6 with just over 100k. This winter, I have noticed
that the autolock mechanism locks and then immediatley unlocks my
driver door when I click the lock button on the remote. If I keep
trying the remote, the door will eventually lock, but I know that I
probably should not keep doing this, so I just let the door unlock
itself...the alarm does sound when I open the door that thinks it is
locked but really isn't. Do I have a bad lock motor?

I noticed that if I hit the lock button on the remote while the door
is open as I'm getting out, it stays locked (probably about 50% of the
time) so I have resorted to just doing that until I have to fix the
thing.

Anyone else here experienced this phenomenon? Is this common and how
much is it to fix?

Thanks in advance for advice...

Greg
