Why doesn't the light flash when locking the Volvo S60?

The reasons why the light doesn't flash when locking the Volvo S60 are: 1. The vehicle failed to complete the locking operation successfully; 2. There is a malfunction in the anti-theft or anti-theft alert system; 3. There is an issue with the power supply circuit. The Volvo S60 is a mid-size 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, 1437mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2872mm. The Volvo S60 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've fixed this issue for quite a few Volvo owners. The most likely reason why the lock indicator light isn't flashing is that one of the doors isn't properly closed - whether it's the trunk, car doors, or hood not being locked, it can cause this. Does your car have keyless entry? The last S60 I worked on had its door handle sensor short-circuited by rainwater. Also, low battery in the remote key can act up; try using the spare key to check. Another often overlooked reason is if you've activated the 'follow me home' headlight delay feature, which causes the system to respond with a delay. There's a lock confirmation option in the car's settings menu - if it's accidentally turned off, the light won't flash. I recommend first washing the car and cleaning the door edge sensors, then trying to restore the car's system to factory settings.
