I've started running into this problem about a year ago. I do not have a keyless entry system set up, when I attempted to set one up the car for some reason was not able to recognize the remote. Anyways, when i lock the car manually, everything locks fine.

About every 10th time I unlock the car, upon opening the door the car alarm goes off. This prevents me from starting the car and I have to wait long periods of time locking and unlocking the car until the alarm no longer sounds. Just wondering if anyone has any advice, I took it to the local volvo dealership and they said clipping the wire connection the doors to the security system could ruin many features of the dashboard.

All I want to do is be able to lock/unlock the doors. I was debating many options, not sure if anyone has tried any of them but maybe its possible to replace the locks themselves
