What is the "button" on the handle on the back lift gate? It is on the outside of the door. I opened the button cover, which revealed a thumb sized black button. I cannot depress it and it does not come out. Will it open the lift gate or unlock it?

The knobs on both the door and lift gate will not unlock, even manually. I tried to pull them...nothing. I am tempted to put a Visegrip on them and pull like heck, but past experience tells me I will just break something else. I am new to Volvos, what is the black rubber covered thing on the lift ...

The key only unlocks the driver door. Pressing the central lock switch does nothing. I am afraid to lock any door for fear it will not open again.

I gave up for a while, but now I am back. The central lock fuse is fine, but I cannot open the passenger door on the driver's side and the tailgate now will not unlock or open. The fuel door would not release either but I pried it open. I do not have a key fob. Any help is appreciated.

The central locking system on my V70 does not work any longer. I checked the fuse under the hood and its fine. Also, I have heard about an auxiliary fuse box in the back of my wagon, but I have been unable to locate it. Any guidance? Any ideas ideas for my locks?

I am new to Volvos, but I am learning expensive lessons quickly. This is my daughters car. The fuel door will suddenly not open. The power door locks will not work either. I checked the fuses under the hood. None were blown. I have disconnected the battery in an attempt to 'reboot' the system. No ...
