2008 Volvo xc70 Steering Wheel Locked No Ignition Fix
In this video we are going to show you how to possible fix the issue where the steering wheel is locked and the car doesn't start on a 2008 Volvo xc70. In most cases this has to do with the steering lock module where the module itself fails. The solution is to disconnect the module and lubricate with WD-40 then tap with a hammer to get the module to work. Once lubricated reconnect the module then press the start button the the car. The module motor should trigger thus fixing the problem.

Thank you sir. You saved the day. I did not pull the part off because I don’t have screws, instead there are round studs. So i sprayed lubricant up into the part while still attached. Thank you.
The dealership was going to charge me $860 + tax to replace the part and I was going to have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment. Add $100 for towing and I was looking at at least $1000 and weeks without my car. A disaster for an Uber driver. Thanks to your video I fixed it myself for free in ten minutes. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't even remove the mechanism. I just noted the position of the locking pin from the video, doused the area where pin should be and gently tapped with a hammer.
Hey man this is a temporary fix it WILL eventually fail...just finally seized up today leaving me stranded, I was able to remove the lock and sure enough it's done,I was able to bash it and get it to start drove to the volvo dealer and getting a new one tommorow and programed
Brother Volvo DIY'ers, Irwin 3/8 stripped bolt head extract tool grabbed those two round do-hickeys with no problem and screwed them right out. The three screws to get the column collar apart are Torx T-20
Used this video to sort out my v50. Worked like a charm, I didn't refit the lock pin in the black plastic part as this is what was causing the fault. Works just fine without it, but I suspect it means the steering lock could be forced without it...
My wifes XC70 is having this exact problem! I have been looking for videos on how this for the past month and you just literally posted this at the right time! Thanks !
Glad we could help!

Exactly! Fixed mine. If you are stranded, you can see part of the silver metal assembly under wheel and tap it with something hard without taking plastics off.
Pretty sure I will be fully taking it out soon though. Thanks, great video.
Invaluable! Thank you so much. Used a cold chisel to rotate the bolts rather than cut a notch and eventually got a pair of mole grips on the head to free them. Top man!
You saved me a fortune, I did this with my two left hands in an hour
Great
If you adjust steering wheel to its maximum up an out position you can see the locking mechanism then proceed to beat with a hammer no other tools needed your welcome 👍😉
Does not help. My was stuck asf.
Thank you, sir, worked just as you described on my S80
This deserves some credit ! Worked like a charm
just spraying WD40 in the steering column close to the locking device did the trick for me.
Volvo v50 2010
Thx for the fix
greeting from Th Netherlands!!
Thank you. I used your method
You saved my life far from home :)
You are on the money with this video!! I almost took my car to the dealership when this happened to my car but my neighbor said I should try your video first. I followed your exact instructions and it worked!! The video could had not been any clearer, you are the man! Thank you Sir!!
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad it helped
I removed the plastic covers and tapped the module (without removing it) with a small hammer. The locking plunger freed up and the car started. I'll have my mechanic replace the module soon...Thanks!
So many thanks. Just fixed my 2007 S80 V8 using the instructions provided. Shame most of the engineers I know would use a 9" angle grinder to slot the screw heads, but I'm a complete wimp, and used a Dremel instead. 😉
You are my new hero. Thx a lot bro 👍👍👍
Hi thanks for the.. When you say press the button in the video and the locking tab moves .. just to clarify you're putting the key in and out of the ignition key hole only, without turning it, to activate the steering lock mechanism ...I just thought I ought to clarify this for other viewers.. hope this helps..
Merci 1000 fois !!! J'ai pu réparer grace a vous, vous m'avez fait économiser beaucoup d'argent !! 🎉
You're the man
Happened to me yesterday morning in the rain. Parked at a gas station near my home in a rural part of NC. when I got the message Steering wheel locked (which it wasn't, it's in the down position). Nothing worked like disconnecting the battery and so on. Car was towed to my house after waiting 4 hours for the tow truck. Still have the error message and it will not turn over or start. I don't have the tools to make a notch to remove the mechanism and will try just spraying it without taking it out. I know from this video that it's correctable and thank you so much.
how did you fixes it?
Thank you. Your precise tips helped a lot with my broken s80II.
Absolutely GREAT. Best explanation. Very clear instructions. Best wishes and may God bless you.
Currently I'm stuck..thank you for the rivet explanation . I will dismantle today and fix it for good... Good video man thank you
Thanks
Just tapping the shear bolt round half a turn freed mine up
Thanks a lot for the tip. I'm going to keep a hack saw and small flat screw driver with lubricant just in case of this fault. I don't want to get stuck in the middle of the road.
Thanks again 👍
Hello, thank you from this video. It helped a bit, but the actual problem can be in the plastic, the little pin doesn't move properly. I sanded littlebit the corner where the locking system adjust it and it worked 👍
I like to use wd40 it helps
👍👍👍 one hour work and the job was done thanks a lot.
Hi there, this is one of the best videos on YT,
i just bought a 2009 XC70 for about half the price, the owner have allready changed the keylock and the CEM for 3000 usd,
so i realy hope this solves the problem. thank you...
Thanks Martin, we appreciate your comments

Thanks for sharing!
just spraying WD40 in the steering column close to the locking device did the trick for me!
Glad to hear thanks
Do you think is it safe to spray WD-40 around the lock? My s80 has this problem but i am afraid to spray wd-40 blindly just because I may cause a bigger problem
This just happened to My 2009 S80 V8 as I was about to go to Work.. after about 8 tries it started, so I quickly took off 😂 We've just had x2 extremely Hot days, 44 degrees then 38..could this have played a part..? Good stuff, will be showing this to My Mechanic 👌
You saved me 👍👍
Thanks for this video, this was just what I needed to fix my C30. Perfect communication and details.
That black piece that you removed needs to be placed back or you remove it completely?
Good question-one viewer says he didn’t put it back. I put mine back in as I wasn’t sure.
@@davidfong4811I removed it 11 months ago and never placed back. The problem never appeared again that part is not necessary. It was just giving an extra 10% safety for the wheel lock
You’re a f*****g legend!
Thank you so much I tried it n it worked as well..!! Amazing
Guys. If someone having problem with the mechanism, if still dont come out with tapping. Just try to open the body cover with drilling where its bended. Inside you have electronic board and electro motor. Check first the motor with any power supply that have 12v. That is the first problem.
Then, on the board you have micro switch, check that also. Mine was stuck, and i cleaned the micro switch with cleaner spray for electronics.
Good luck!
Thank you so much! Will try this tomorrow.
Could you show me how to remove the ignition switch from this exact model? It shows a problem with the key after turning off the car when I want to remove the key.
terrific explanations.. Thanks.
Bless you sir. 🙏🏽
Is this long term fix? Does it need t be replaced?
Great demonstration 🔥🔥🔥
Wow. It happened to me just in front of the toolshop,😂. Bought the tools, did the job. And back home.
Worked great! Thank you for this!
This video helped me a lot! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I had exactly the same problem.
Thanks
awesome my friend, I got the same of your, now fixed
I’m glad it worked for you. Thanks
Thx so much, I have same this problem and I follow you clip and can solve this
Thank you I’m glad it helped
I have a 2008 Volvo s40. AAA changed the battery and I also changed the battery on my keyfob...all was working fine now i get the code "turn steering and start again"...I was about to get a locksmith which will cost me an upward of $400...why is the steering while lock such a common problem on volvos!? Im about to try this trick in your video and hope it resolves the issue of the car not starting.
Thank you!!
No worries!
Thank you. How can we make a notch to the bolt? What tool do we need for this?
Dremel cutting wheel.
Its likely the 10 pin double relay inside that controls motor direction which is real problem. You hitting it just frees the sticky relay. The problem will return unless its replaced. Im in the middle of replacing it.
where you get the replacement from?
Gracias amigo desde España
Gracias
Please I have tried all these and mine ain't working. Any suggestions?
u the man it fixed it
What if you jump the relay
I keep a pair of needle-nose pliers, hammer, and WD-40 in my LR2. This lock jams up all the time in the cooler temperatures. Basically need the pliers to pull the lock hard from being seized up. Hammer helps too thought I try to use it as little as possible given the potential impact on the electronics. I wrapped mine in bubble wrap and left it in the dash for easier access. Seems like my old friend that keeps coming back to haunt me in the cooler weather.
I love wd40, just spray it really good it won’t damage the electrical components, then tap it gently with the hammer. You will be fine.

@@psautomotive5530good day good and kind sir please tell me if i can disconnect this mechanism from the steering totally and not make use of it at all
Thank you, sir! It helped!
My pleasure
Hello Sir my t5 S40 does not start I get a massage that say " immobilizer see manual ". I have changed battery, starter and battery on key. What can be the problem
Fantastic
@PSAutomotive En Denver me están cobrando $800 por remplazar esa pieza con una nueva. Que me recomiendas? yo no se mucho de carros ni tengo herramientas. Es una XC&) del 2008 que no quiere prender. Gracias y bendiciones
Hi, thank you for sharing! Just wanna know are these steps same with xc60?
Yes the same thing.
@@psautomotive5530 and the same with v70 III?
@@vvvvwacek 2008 is V70III
But how do you remove the upper plastic cover?
My exact question, trying to figure out what head is on the three bolts/screws on the underside of the steering column.
Hola. Tengo un c30 2010. Seguí paso a paso el video. Pero aun se bloquea el volante. Ayuda!!
But you had to tap motor to make it work. This suggests the motor brushes are worn out and motor needs replaced. No?
helo friend I take the scurwe uot. but it dosen't go out. u shur only two scurwe?
Thank you you save me$$$$$$you are amazing😮

Is this the same for a 2017 XC90?
Sorry I took both screws out but I cant still get the thing out? Any reccomendations?
Did you managed to get the lock out some year ago??? Im struggling with it too
Nope I did not, later they had to fix it in a certified volvo repair service@@floriethamnel9734
nice trouble shout
Stephen, do you have problem locking your doors sometime. Someone suggested the key fob, door locks and steering all work off the same system and that MIGHT be the problem. My steering column tab is lock down and I can't get it up to read the computer.
You have to unlock the steering so the ignition circuit comes alive. No problems locking the doors.

Hi thank for the video. I have 08 LR2 with the same problem. But my lock out the tab is down and I can't get it up. My car give the same message and will not start. Is there any test to test the steering lock out? Do this sound more of a software problem. It has 189,000 miles and only start giving problem about 150,000 miles. I tried to add a pictures
Nop , its definitely mechanical, there is a switch that’s have to be actuated mechanically so that the circuit for the starter comes alive.
how you fixed the problem?
Do one for Volvo s40 immortalizer
Once we get the chance we will
This worked for my 2008 S80, after it was sitting for months! Do I need to reinstall that black plastic piece that was removed from the SCL?
When I put the black plastic piece back in, and attempt to start the vehicle, the SCL jams up again. When I remove it, and try again, it starts without issue.
Glad we can help. Please help us reach 1000 subscribers. I'll get back to you on your question I have to reach out to Alfredo the mechanic.
@@psautomotive5530 I actually sent a message via Instagram 🤓 but what I did is remove that spring mechanism in the black plastic cover, and then reinstalled the black cover by itself. Once I did that, the car started with no issue! I'll look out for your mechanic's response, though 👍
good!
Thanks!
Hello I have the same problem with my Volvo C30 2.4i. I removed the lock I put WD40 but still it's to hard to push up down. What should I do? Any other way to make it lost.?
No if it doesn’t comes loose then you’ll have to replace the part
Where are you located I want my car service by you 👍🏼🙏

Thanks 🙏
You saved me a fortune !! Whats your PayPal address?
Almost the same problem on my '08 XC70. Put in the key, can't start. But I never get to see an error message? I do hear switch the lock off, but a second later it locks again, preventing my car to start. I pull key out, put key in, try again. Could this be related to your solution?
I don’t think so. When is this issue you get the turn steering wheel message on the dash

Hola caballero yo tengo un Volvo c30 2008, le programe una computadora nueva y la llave, pero ahora la llave prende el panel, y el aire acondicionado pero no prende el carro y el guíe no se mueve. Lo lleve a la Volvo y me quieren cobrar $2,800 para cambiar el fuse box porque disque esta corrupto. Yo se que no es eso porque todo esta mandando señal. Que usted cree que pueda ser? Gracias
Primero debo saber cual fue la razón de q cambiaras la computadora?
What is the effect of unlocking the black box?
Now I hammered but didn't unlock the module. it's work!! ...but in 2-3 days
i have the same problem again.
Car turns on. When the steering wheel is locked the car doesn't turn on.
@@psautomotive5530 did you remove the black plastic for
cleaning and lubricate it? or
permanent remove?
If it’s still seizing up you will probably have to replace the solenoid.
You could try spraying it really good with wd40 and then blow it with high pressure air. That way the wd40 penetrates
Thank you so much,save me substantial amount of$$$$$$❤
08 Land Rover has the same Volvo part made by Volvo
This is a very common issue with this part
it is actually a German part

I am about to try this. Great video
