Womala Interior Door Unlock Pull Cord OE 31253059 Cables for Volvo XC90 03-

Core Functions

• Mechanical Unlock Backup: Provides a reliable manual way to unlock the door if the power lock system fails (e.g., dead battery, faulty lock actuator)—eliminating the risk of being trapped inside or unable to access the vehicle’s interior.
• Direct Manual Control: For rear doors (or base trims without power locks), it serves as the primary manual unlock method, allowing passengers to unlock the door from the inside without relying on electrical components.
• Durable Daily Use: The high-strength cord and reinforced fittings withstand repeated pulling (common in family vehicles or high-mileage XC90s), ensuring long-term functionality without fraying or failure.
• Noise-Free Operation: The protective sheathing prevents the cord from rubbing against door panel components, avoiding annoying rattles or squeaks during driving.

1. Confirm the door position (front left/right, rear left/right) via VIN or door panel inspection—while the OE number 31253059 is cross-compatible for most XC90 doors, some early 2003–2005 models may have slight variations in end fitting design for rear doors. Check the original cord’s fittings to match.
2. Reference the XC90’s official service manual to access the door panel (typically requires removing screws, clips, and the interior handle trim). Avoid forcing the panel, as this can break plastic tabs—use a trim removal tool for safe disassembly.
3. When installing, ensure the cord is routed along the original path (following the protective sheathing’s guide) to avoid kinks or interference with other door components (e.g., window regulators, speaker wires). Test the pull cord after installation to confirm it unlocks the door smoothly.
4. Replace the access cover (if applicable) after installation to keep the cord’s pull tab accessible but hidden, maintaining the door’s interior aesthetic.*
