Problem overview

Some Volvo XC90 owners report experiencing door lock issues, such as the driver side door lock not functioning, which can prevent the driver window from closing electronically and the door from locking with the remote or switch. Additionally, some owners find that the passenger front door immediately re-locks after being unlocked, indicating a possible malfunction in the locking mechanism. Others have noted a noisy right rear lock, producing a loud motorized whirl sound when activated, suggesting a potential issue with that door's locking mechanism. To address these concerns, it is recommended that owners consult a qualified mechanic for diagnosis, as common causes may include faulty lock actuators, key fob issues, blown fuses, or damaged latch assemblies. Troubleshooting steps may involve inspecting various components, including the lock actuators, fuses, and wiring, to ensure everything is functioning properly.
