S40 V40 Parts: - Doors and Radio problems

devett · Mar 8th, 2011, 15:30

Hi

Hoping that someone can help me on this please. I own 1998 V40 2.0i. The battery went flat after my wife left the lights on overnight! I have replaced the battery but now have the following problems:

The only door that opens is the drivers door although this cannot be locked
The remote fob doesn't work at all
The radio isn't working

All working fine prior to replacing the battery so hoping that there may be a relatively straightforward fix?????

Advice gratefully recieved

thanks

Does the radio power up at all or is it just dead? If it does power up it will require the radio code (if it is a Volvo unit). Perhaps your key fob now needs to be 're-programmed' for the car after the loss of power to the control unit. There are threads available on here with instructions on the re-programming steps (to avoid dealer charges).
