remote door lock/unlock unit

I have a 2002 V70 and for no apparent reason the light do not flash when
I lock the doors with the remote. The doors lock fine. There just is no
indication that they do. The dealer could not find the problem after a
cursory examination and said a more extensive one would take some time
(and some $). I opted not to pursue that path, at least for now and
wonder if anyone on this ng has any idea what is wrong.

Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem on my XC-70. Turns out the hood was not
completely closed. Opened the hood & then closed it fully and everything
worked again..

John, you nailed it. I checked the oil before a trip and evidently
didn't close the hood quite right, although it looked fine. After
re-seating it the lock/lights now work. What the hood has to do with the
lights/lock is beyond me. You bested the dealer on this one.

Thanks.

The Hood-lock is integrated in the Anti-Theft Alarm System...

to give a more universal, ontological answer. the lights flash to let
you know when/if the car is locked -- that's even what the button
says. this is particularly important for people w/ kids, those pesky
rear doors. i would consider letting Volvo USA know about the event.
i'm a i general contractor & the suspicion of fraud is ever present.
