S70 Key and Ignition issue S70

In 1999, Volvo installed a security ring behind the tumbler. This can wear and or corrode over time. Pull off the clamshell cover and you will see it. It is just an antenna to send the signal from the key's chip to the security module.

Unclip the connector and clean it off so it shines. In rare cases the ring itself is worn out and needs to be replaced, easy to do and cheap.

No, you will not need any programming to do this and your keys are still good.
