About Central Locking Solonoids

The Volvo central locking solenoid/actuator is a key part of the electronic central locking mechanism on a vehicle. This system is complex, and consists of various actuators and relays. Power is sent to the central locking relay from the battery, via a fuse. The relay then sends this power to the Volvo central locking solenoid, and the solenoid opens the door lock switch. To close, the polarity is reversed. The Volvo central locking solenoid is usually located in the driverside door behind the door card.

It’s possible that the Volvo central locking solenoid can fail. If this occurs the first thing to check would be the wiring. If this appears intact it’s likely to be an issue caused by another part of the central locking system. Any issue with the Volvo central locking solenoid or any other part of the central locking system will mean you are unable to operate the car doors causing potential security issues. In the case of a Volvo central locking solenoid failure it may be impossible to open the door from the inside of the vehicle. It’s therefore important to repair any central locking issues as a matter of urgency.

Volvo trivia

  • Volvo is Swedish and was founded in 1924 by two brothers who designed and built the ÖV 4 because they realised that other cars couldn't cope with Sweden's harsh weather. The car was given the name 'Jakob' and had both a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine and a three-speed manual gearbox.
  • The Volvo 240 is considered the benchmark by which all car safety standards are set. The 240 is so well identified with driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety that the US government even purchased 24 of them just to test for themselves how safe they were.
  • There's a theatre in Ireland where the patrons all sit in seats from the Volvo S80 luxury saloon. A local Volvo dealer saw the seats being used at the launch of the S80 and asked Volvo if he could have some for his local theatre.
  • The Volvo V40 is considered the safest car ever made and has the highest score to ever been awarded by EuroNCAP.
  • Volvo is part of the prestigious Premier Automotive Group, which also includes Aston Martin, Land Rover, and Jaguar.
