Hi All,
New member here so you'll have to bare with me!!
Recently purchased an '01 S60 2.0T SE and extremely happy with the car, but over the past few days have noticed that I have a fault with the central locking system. For some reason whether you lock the door with the key or the remote all the locks go down but just before the dead locks are activated the rear passenger door button pops back up again, this is the only door to do this (At the moment!!). As it is, when the dead locks do kick in the door itself is locked!!!!? Just curious as to whether anyone else has had similar fault or if there's someone out there that know's what is going wrong with it? Prehaps a solenoid or vacuum unit, duff connection etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The door lock assembly is bad. You will need to replace it to fix it.

 

Thanks Tech, Just my luck really!!
This fault is weird!! Every now and then it actually works fine but the majority of time it goes wrong and starts to play up.

Thank again

It is due to getting lubbed when the services are done. Thats why I only lube the door hinges and latches when customers request.

 

And this can't be sorted out with a good old squirt of penetrant??
WD40, Ardrox etc.
No what am I going on about, easy and cheap fixes like that don't happen to a guy like me!!
Any ideas on a rough price on one of these things?

No spraying with WD wont fix.
