850 Alarm Question......

I have a 97 850 GLT I can lock with remote - but not unlock.

Sometimes mine will fail to lock with the remote. I try all sorts, walking round the car, pretenting to walk away then rush back, run away and sneak back and have another go. Nothing works so I'll give up and use the key.

You can then guarantee that when i come back, it will happily unlock and then lock again with the remote.

I've read here that Volvo remotes don't age well, it's something that I can live with it, it's not all the time that ours fails but I'd love to know why it does sometimes.

There are different kinds of remote-controls. The one with the lock und the unlock key of same size doesn't work very well in different situations. Sometime it helps holding a finger in front of the control or touching the control at your head. The control with the big and the small key of the newer guard alarm systems works fine in almost all situations.
