S80 Drivers door re-locking itself

Post by skattrd »

Hi all,
I'll introduce myself properly shortly, but I've recently acquired a 2000 S80 2.5D SE Auto, which I'm quite enjoying driving. I've done 2k miles in the first 2 weeks I've had it. Anyway, great forum here, I've solved most of my problems (none major, just niggles) using the search, but theres one I was looking for a bit of assistance with.

When I unlock the car with the remote all the doors unlock, but when I try and open the drivers door it re-locks itself, so I have to unlock it with the key. I haven't taken the door card off yet to have a look and would rather not until I have the replacement part, I'd rather only have to remove the door card once ;)
I'm guessing theres some electrical gubbins in the door at fault - or something inside the door has moved slightly?

Anyway, has anyone got a pic of the door internals, basically, whats between the external catch and the locking mechanism?
Is it something like this? If so I'll get one from my local scrapyard tomorrow.

Thx
Chris
