I just spent hours doing this and I think this video omitted some steps. It would have been much easier if you fish the cable from the top. I don’t understand how they could do it from below and not to bend the cable in the process. Bending the cable will cause it to bind and cause difficulties to lock and unlock door lock with the key. You are unable to see where the slide pin goes from below as well. Remove both inside and outside window glass gaskets. Roll the window up. Then remove the metal window guide rail next to the latch. Then roll the window all the way down to gain some space so you can see how to guide the end of the wire into the door latch. You can see the door latch from the top of the window gap. The door latch also has to be in the locked and closed position for the cable pin to slide in or out from the catch in the door latch mechanism. A long screw driver is helpful for guiding the cable pin into the door latch mechanism. I think the instructions in this video is inadequate and causing so much frustration for anyone thinking only to spend an hour following this video. But if I had to do it again I probably take out the whole door latch instead of trying to mess with the cable into with it in place.
God Bless you @Patrick L The dingus in the video obviously skipped his own way of installing. Probably took his 5hrs too! Through the top is much easier !
Hey OTR you guys are great and i really appreciate the video's yall put up helping us o/ops diy... I've learned so much about my Volvo and saved alot too thx.
Hey otr thanks for the video, I actually have an issue with my 15 Volvo driver side door, I can't lock it with the key. What do you suggest it might be?
Hello OTR TEAM. Want to see if there's a video on how to change the column stearing cable ( To ajust the steering up or down) Thanks in advance...good videos by the way.
@@otrperformance Thanks for reaching out, please let me know when that video comes out. I have other issues with my Volvo truck like the door passengers side lock won't stay lock (the swith inside) and the key wont turn it to stay lock also. Also my air dryer is acting kind off weird too. But thanks again.
I figured it out, take the panel off all the way and brake out the little plastic door on the latch there is a star bit screw behind it unscrew it and the door will open.
If your old cable looks exactly like the one in the video, the missing part is probably stuck in the plastic piece of the latch mechanism, don't ask me how I know 😀😀. Please remove the latch mechanism to save yourself time and agravation , T30 T40 and 12 mm needed
Hey OTR can you guys show a clear view of how to replace the new cable inside the door. I can’t really see it.

How can we do this when the latch broke with the door shut and you can’t open it ...
I'm having the same problem right now
I can't open door at all if there a way to release latch ??
You can do it while the door is closed. But 2:35 is really difficult
Charles Ashley I'm dealing with the same thing did you figure it out
Charles Ashley
damn mine just broke today. can't open door. inside or outside. sucks
I figured it out, take the panel off all the way and brake out the little plastic door on the latch there is a star bit screw behind it unscrew it and the door will open.
