1996 Volvo 850 courtesy light / central locking issues

I am still having an on going issue with very reliable working of the central locking on my 850 estate. I have noticed something else which appears to be connected but I don't know why???

Re: 850 central locking intermittent working

...Just had to break in to the petrol filler to put fuel in! Any ideas where to look now?? You have an emergency handle for opening fuel door in the right side of the trunk.You just need to remove the right side floor panel to access it. Thanks for that, didn't know about the emergency handle, woul...

850 central locking intermittent working

Still having issues with the locking. New batteries in the remote, so not that. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The fault is both from the remote and from the door lock. If the immobiliser is on you can disable with the remote, so it's working. Just had to break in to the petrol filler to put fue...

Re: 850 radiator replacement

The bolts that attach the radiator to the body have sheared the nut from the bodywork, I've cut them off and botched it for the min. but any suggestion for a permanent fix???
Also is the bottom hose the same as for a v70?

850 radiator replacement

Unfortunately another little hiccup in the life of my 1996 non turbo 2.5 petrol estate, the radiator has sprang a big leak near the bottom, how easy is it for me to replace the radiator myself?

Re: 850 central locking

I've just ordered some batteries for the remote, and as the central locking seems to be working again using the key.... fingers crossed

Re: 850 central locking

Last night when I got home it the central locking locked from the drivers door.... it wasn't doing anything when I left work, had to open the passenger door from inside as none of the other doors had operated. What a pain?
But the remote is still giving three clicks when I press it?

Re: 850 central locking

Hi Lee It works on when I use the key in the lock, not from the remote. From the remote it is neither locking or unlocking... but the remote is making 3 clicks, something I've never heard it do before! When I initially opened the car using the key in the drivers door, the car would not start all lig...

850 central locking

Just came out from work at lunchtime, and central locking appears to be not working! It appears to be enabling and disabling the immobiliser, but not the central locking! The remote fob gives three clicks when you press the unlock/lock button. Any thoughts?
