About Central Locking Control units

The Volvo central locking control unit is used to lock/ unlock all of the doors in the vehicle. It is operated by pressing a button on your vehicle’s key or fob. Some keys or key fobs have a separate button to unlock and lock the boot. Otherwise the Volvo central locking control unit will also lock/unlock the boot when the other doors open. 

There is one master control unit for central locking and another unit for each of the vehicle’s doors. These are mounted under the vehicle’s door trim and attached to the master control unit which is powered by the 12v battery.

If a Volvo central locking control unit is showing signs of failure you may find that the central locking on your vehicle works intermittently. This suggests that there is a problem either with the wiring or electrical components of the unit. If left without repair this could cause a complete failure of the Volvo central locking control unit, which could leave you unable to fully lock the vehicle, leading to issues of security. Alternatively, all of the doors in your vehicle could lock, meaning you can only access the vehicle by using the key.

Volvo trivia

• Volvo is one of the oldest companies in the world to be trading on the Stock Exchange. They have been trading consistently since 1935. The majority of car manufacturers didn't even exist when the Stock Exchange opened.
• 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.
• Volvo is a Latin word that means 'I spin,' although some later translations change the meaning slightly to 'I roll.'
• A Volvo is always good for mileage, but the holder of the world record for best mileage is the 1966 Volvo 1800S, which clocked three million miles in 2013. Owner Irvin Gordon had bought the car in 1966.
• Although many of their inventions were released to the public, Volvo has been responsible for so many cutting-edge inventions in car manufacturing that they have had to build an entire company division to deal solely with patent infringement.
