Rear doors will not unlock

Hi all,

My kids pulled on the rear door handles of our 1998 V70 wagon at the same time as I unlocked the doors with my key and the rear doors now will not unlock either by remote, key or front door lock/unlock buttons. I have to reach over and pull up the locks manually.

Is there a simple fix or will I need to replace some components?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, it probably messed up the lever of doom inside the door.

You'll haveta either get a latch assembly, or work your way through this:

Many thanks for those detailed instructions with pics. I'll have another read through and see how game I am feeling.

Thanks again : )

If the lock actuator is broken I would source one from the Recycle yard. They are pretty easy to swap in and out and can be had for under $10 at a decent yard.
