It's probably rusted shut,Volvo's aren't what they used to be.

Locked Boot Lid
I have just repaired the boot lid which was locked and could not be opened.
1. Lowered the back seats and crawled into the boot. 2. Removed lining - not easy but with care quite possible 3. Unscrewed 3 bolts retaining the lock; this allowed the lid to be opened a little. 4. Pulled out connector and disconnected wires enabling the boot to be opened completely. 5. Discovered a green/white wire which had broken; temporary repair enable the lock to work and be released. 6. Repaired wire and reassembled. Took about 2 hours and reading the other blogs seems to have saved £600. Chuffed |

I had the can't-open-the-damn-boot problem. I tracked it down to the release micro-switch & license plate illumination assembly. Seems some corrosion was causing current leakage which was enough to convince the control unit that the switch was permanently closed.
Before you crawl into the boot and start taking the door lining off I suggest you disconnect and then reconnect the harness connector under the parcel shelf. If the lock then opens then you probably have the same problem as me and you've saved yourself a cricked neck and a sore throat from cursing and yelling. Said from experience. Props to eretron for posting the circuit diagram.

I'm trying to fix my boot as of now. And Im stuck at stage 4. I have unscrewed the three bolts retaining the lock to the lid and of course also disconnected the connector going to the lock. But Ive tried, a lot, to get the lid open. As you say in stage 3, the lid opens up just a little. But how in the world do you get it fully open? |

Solved my problem by replacing the wiring harness!

But I have the same issue with that microswitch. I already replaced the wiring harness (which, in fairness, needed doing anyway because the previous owner had done a poor bodge job on it). It worked for a while but then it stopped again, and indeed it opens every time I unhook the cable for a second. I measured the contacts at the microswitch and indeed it is shorted out. The problem I have now is: How do I get at the switch?? It seems to be completely glued in, as are the cables leading into it from the wiring harness connector. I don't see any way of getting in there without breaking the whole piece that holds the tailgate lighting and boot switch. Just wondering if you found a way of getting that microswitch out (It looks like a part that costs a couple of quid at Farnell) before I go and order another expensive proprietary module |

Don't bother Bodging it yourself , the number plate light holders corrode as well and the part is remarkable good value from the dealer , called a " Handle " on their parts list .
