Hello Sean86,

I had a similar problem with my V70, but with the driver's door. It would intermittenty either fail to start, warn me that the door was open when it was closed, or complain about they key.

My local Volvo garage diagnosed it as a faulty door wiring loom that probably had cracked wires making intermittent contact sending unexpected and erroneous signals to the car's "brain".

They replaced the wiring loom in the door and all returned to normal and has been fine ever since.
