V70 keyfob locking problem - pressing lock doesn't work, door lock comes back up???

[Stumpy]

In my V-70 T5, when I press the lock button on the keyfob, the door
doesn't stay locked. The driver door lock keeps popping back up.
sometimes the fob has to be pressed like 10 times for the door to stay
locked.

I can use the key to manually lock the door, but that remote is mighty
convenient

Very common problem, it's a microswitch in the lock mechanism, not
available separately. You need a new lock.

Scott, I have the very same problem with my 2001 V70, only the drivers door
seems to be the problem. It also occurs when using the central locking
button. Hope you get an answer.
