just one door lock or all?

reason I ask is because lock problems on Volvos are sometimes very difficult jobs to tackle. takes lots of time sometimes.

The problem is not the actuator price. I found the one for my S90 for about $60! It's the time to do the job. It's a "blank check" when you take it to the dealer or repairman.

5 minuts and 3 tools is all it takes to replace them, finding out the exact door lock, or making sure it is the lock module, thats what times up so much time.

The driver door. The lock wouldn’t respond to the keyless, and the next thing I know all the locks on all the doors would not stop going up and down repeatedly. It’s like the car was possessed. I’m guessing that the driver door was sending out a false signal or something.

I just want to make sure Im not being overcharged because I can try n go elsewhere. Lucky thing is he can do it in one day
