Very useful discussion. This has happened to me recently. I have been driving around unable to lock the driver's door on my 18.6 years old Volvo V40. I had taken out the battery to give more space to replace headlight bulbs. Key fob was in my pocket. I closed the car bonnet, not having put the battery back in position. I had left the car unlocked but as it is prone to do, the car had automatically locked itself. Agh!!! I could not open the car automatically as the battery was not connected! Panic! With great relief I opened the driver's door manually with the key. However the door will now no longer lock but the rest of the doors will, with central locking.
Tomorrow, I shall try the advice of ijmorrison and gatos. I shall keep you posted. Roy Dean
