Hi, very new here. I drive a 95 850 Turbo Sedan, and after replacing just about every part of this night mare of a Volvo, the back passenger door will not open. Not from the inside or outside. The lock pulls up just fine, but the door is just stuck.

Any ideas I can do/check myself to avoid the shop fee?

Our second baby is due any day and I really need both back doors to work!

Thank you very much for any suggestions.

 

I have never had a door issue, so I am unable to give you an exact assistance. Wait for other members to reply.

Meanwhile, I assume the rod/wire to the door handle may be dislodged, in such case you need to remove the inside panel and do a visual inspection. But before you jump on ripping the trim off, wait for others to rescue. You would need Torx bit to remove/install the trim panel.

There is another post here with the same issue that explains what happened. I will try to find the post and post the link here.

So how do you get the door open??? You can't get the panel off with the door closed.

 

Oh but yes you can!
Remove the rear lower seat cushion and you can access the screws for the panel. Then you can slide it out after everything is loose.

 

I have a 995 Volvo 850. The inside drivers side door will not open from the inside but will manually from the outside. The other doors are still working. Can anyone tell what I should look for to repair it?

 

If it opens from the outside but not inside, you likely have a linkage problem from the inside handle. Maybe the linkage simply came loose, maybe due to worn part in the door or locking clip broken. Take the panel off and see what's going on.
