I have the same problem, my door won't unlock or lock, depending on the position I leave the solenoid's sliding pin.
Sometimes, after disassembling and reassembling it works for a bit but then it gets back to this annoying inactivity...
I tried the process you kindly shared and explained but the solenoid it's different and I'm not able to open it since it is sealed and have no lids like yours... On the other hand the wire loon is in excellent shape and protected by a neat looking linning of nylon cloth. My V70 was manufactured late 2003, maybe they modified some specs by then...
I will try to disassemble the lock again and try to lubricate it from the outside... It's that or a new part.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks for the excellent post!
Also I should add that I measured the voltage between the wires when locking and unlocking and the current gets to the pins with the door opened and closed and the solenoid won't work either way.
Here's some pics to illustrate...
Update: I tried to lub it from the outside but it keeps refusing to work
