2008 xc70 tailgate won’t open
My 2008 xc70 have the same issue with tailgate stuck and can’t open. Bust I can’t see any spoon inside trim, seems lock is different to V70. Anyone has idea how to open the tailgate? Thanks.

Patstan: You may no longer have the Volvo but if you have info, it would be appreciated. We have a 2002 Volvo V70 and battery is dead and jump starting is not doing anything. We need to access the battery; the tailgate is not opening so any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, dhvine@yahoo.com

Flat Battery Locked Boot et al!!!
Hello Funny I'm at the same thing !!!
You can get at the battery from inside the car.. I undid the mounting or cover plate and disconnected the negative terminal from the battery and am at this moment recharging the thing... I had tried charging through the terminal on/near the engine but the ammeter went bananas ... So now I'm up to about 12 .4 V but still at about 5 Ah so I'm waiting for a few more hours... Something funny - it was a new battery just before "Lockdown" Good luck Bob E |

I have had this a few times as it happens.
Not sure if the V70's are all the same or if what worked for mine will work for you. I also tried to charge the battery through the +ive post in the engine bay and using a battery charger. That did not work for me. What did work was to leave the headlights on and then put 12v via jumper leads directly to the +ive post and the -ive to a good solid ground in the engine compartment. I left it for 5 minutes and then used the key fob in the normal way. You may first have to lock and or unlock the car on the fob once or twice. No subsequent electrical problems that I know of. |

more info on dead battery on 2002 Volvo V70 XC
Finally managed to get to the battery. On this particular car, jump starting did not work. Started no longer clicking when turning key. Managed to get to battery from inside the car, removing all covers and the handle in floor opened the panel that gave access to the battery area. After getting all the bolts off and the base metal retaining panel, we were able to get the battery out of the car. It only had a 3% charge and required a new battery. Hopefully this is the end of the saga.
It is unbelievable that there is only 1 key lock to unlock this car. I would have thought safety regulations would have required another for the tailgate. |

Had mine go as well. It was the solenoid jammed in the locked position. Interestingly, after lubricating it inside, when I lock the car with the tailgate up and the trim still off the solenoid seems to go hard against the stop and the arm bends out a little just before relaxing back a moment later as the solenoid de energises. Pretty sure it must be this over extending issue that jams it. Have given everything a clean and fresh grease. Just have to hope it holds. Great thread and the pics on page 10 really helped.

On models with rear facing child seats, there is a key entry lock on the tailgate - to the right of the number plate illumination. And an opening handle on the inside of tailgate.

this makes make me wonder if it's possible to attach something like a bike brake cable to the inner workings which are presumably the same(?) and add a discrete little ring pull on the inside of the boot door in case of this happening
