2008 Volvo S40 2.4L Trunk Doesn't open wires cut off Problem

[@HarleyC68]

You are the man sir. I've been beating my head against the wall testing the switch and mechanism, and I just happened across this video. I just walked out and looked and I have one broken wire. I never would have found it. I owe you a cold beverage of your choosing if we ever meet.

Haha I am glad to hear this video helped you out. Let's keep sharing the knowledge going 👍🏼

Your are a life saver! I replaced the trunk switch and it worked for like week and stopped. Saw you video, looked at the wires and 4 wires were nicked and all touching together. Fixed them and trunk opens right up! Thank you so much!!

You're welcome!

Thanks for the video, I had same issue with 2010 S80 and could fix it.

[@zhengliang2253]

Thanks for this video, I have S80 2013, exact same problem as yours. But I have multiple wires cut, how do you know which wires are in pair?

[@autorepairchamps]

You will need to spend sometime using a tester and trace each one following colors if possible. I am not sure what it looks like in a 2013 model. Thank you

@@autorepairchamps Thanks, but in that model, all the cables are in black, 6 black cables, I don't like that Turkish vendor who provides this cable, I just bought a new one incase wrong connection will burn some other parts.

@@zhengliang2253 Hi, did you able to replace the whole wire harness? I have same issue with 2010 S80. Six black wires got cut. I fixed it by connecting different wires (took an hour!!). Now everything works.I taped it. But later I want to replace the trunk wire harness. But its really difficult to see where it is connected inside trunk.

@@shibu3933 Hi, I asked someone else to help me, it is not easy to find it. And I bought a new cable set, the solded cable is easy to break.

Does the key fab work to open trunk? Mine doesn’t. Same year

[@jembob78]

Is there a way if opening the boot without getting inside through the back seat and undoing the boot latch cause on my 2005 volvo s40 doesn't have a key slot to open it manually.
