Default S70 four door malfunction

Does anyone know how to get all four doors to open using the car keys? I have a 1998 S70.

Right now, my 4 doors won't open when I turn the key to the left twice. I don't have the remote.

Thank you very much.

Is that the only way to reset the alarm function on a 1998 S70?

Does anyone know where to buy a "lock door module" for a 1998 S70 online?

Thanks.

Is the drivers door lock module the same as the door latch actuator ?

I don't think so and that is usually the problem with the S/V70's. Each door has it's own door latch actuator that the little motor inside gets to weak to unlock/lock the latch with the others. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the latch assembly. Those things are expensive . I have not figured out a way to tell if the ones in junked cars are new or not.
