Power door locks
 

Can anyone tell me why the power locks on my 98 s70 don't operate my rear doors. Is this how the car is built or is something wrong?Also, am I the only one who finds the placement of the rear door lock knobs unreachable from the front seats?......and I'm 6'5"

Both rear ones don't work?

Did they work and both quit ot once?

Or did one stop and then the other later?

They both havent worked since I bought the car a year ago. neither by remote nor the button on the door

Chances are the door locks are bad.
They are known to go bad.

Thanks tech, Ill have them looked at

I have the same problem on my '98, good the problem is the locks themselves, not some electric module in a remote part of the car..

RE: Power door locks
 

Have you had yours fixed? if so what was done??

RE: Power door locks
 

Not yet.. :-) But I did a research on that subject, apparently, as Tech said, replacing the door locks assembly does the trick..

I have the same car with same problem except on both the passenger side front and rear door. They both can be locked but not open with the power switch. Could they both have bad latches at the same time? Any feedback will be appreciated.

RE: Power door locks
 

Yes they can both be bad.
I have seen cars with all bad at once.

On the back doors, could it be some sort of child safety thing that's pushed down, disabling the doors from opening?

On my 1998 V70 my passenger side front door won't open with the remote key of from the All Open button. Any idea how much that will run me?

I think the locks are like $150.00 or so.

Tech, you are right! I bought a used door lock assembly and follow the instruction link posted by elbert and successfully replaced the rear one, now I am looking one for the front passenger side. Thanks for all your help. Saved me a lot of money. One small plastic notch broken inside the assembly. To repair one door, dealer charge $350, independent shop asking for $240. OEM parts on internet $120. Used one I got on eBay $60.
