Tailgate/boot issues? This might help
Evening all
Credit to VolvoSweden on YouTube for this, but this is a great video he’s made (available in Russian too) for the frequently seen tailgate issue on the P3 I myself have this issue, and I know of many others that have VERY similar symptoms. I covered my connections in contact cleaner and it’s worked well for a good few months, but mine is now randomly ignoring the external handle! So I’ll do this within the next few days if I get a chance. So if you have a tailgate/boot that won’t close/open/respond/indicates open when closed/indicates closed when open/slow wiper/odd warning lights.....this might be worth a look! https://youtu.be/PRIUBEqEgAA |
Is anyone getting random "alarm system needs service" messages due to this or assosciated wiring fault? I get the message and even got it while the engine was running and I got out and opened the tailgate and closed it and came back to find the message. I did not get the tailgate open warnings though, but it might not be the same switch which triggers the alarm. Best check a schematic I guess.

Not seen that personally in my P3, but this is a more common issue seen in older models. It's often the battery in the alarm box.

There is a known tailgate earth wire fault for which Volvo have issued a technical sheet but this YouTube video from VolvoSweden shows exactly how to fix it. The fault can cause all manner of problems for tailgate mounted equipment and even if it turns out not to be the cause of your problem, you won't have wasted your time replacing the faulty connection as it is a worthwhile preventative measure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRIUBEqEgAA
