Rear doors = LOCKED!!!

[kwame]

So, I've got a Citroen C5 -01
And both backdoors went into superlocking and I don't know how to get them up.

I'm pretty sure the childlock = off, I've removed the door card and I've tried both on the childlock and still it didn't work. So I now need to somehow get into the striker mechanism and destroy it.

What's the easiest/best way to reach it without destryoing stuff? (If it's possible) Or is there a better way to get the door open?

If both doors did it simultaneously, then it is more likely to be an upstream electrical problem than a mechanical failure.

Yeah, both doors did it simultaneously. But how do I check this? I had it to a "Citroen workshop"

They told me that both striker mechanism (lock smth) was burned. But I don't believe them - when I unlock/lock my door I can both hear and feel it, if it was burned they would be completly dead....

I don't believe they checked so many things though.... sadly! They just said "ALL lock mechanism/lockcases = broken" and it would cost me 1800€ to change it, cause the work to get my backdoors open would take like 4-5 hours lol. But how can all be broken when both front doors work perfect?

So let's say it's an electrical problem, how do I fix that then? Or just force it to open so I can unlock my door? A workshop is not something I will do, as last time they just told me it would cost 1800€ and gave me a s**t answer of what the problem was. It's not logical that they are BURNED when I know how a burned lock acts = it's completly dead.

check all fuses first.

Is it necessary to check all fuses? I've checked just the one about central locking thought it was enough as everything else works fine. But yeah I could check all if you think it could be a fuse-related-problem

[john]

i would check them all but i always do things the long way

you shouldn't have to remove them to see if they are blown.

I've now checked all fuses inside the car and they were not broken. The fuses I haven't checked are the ones under the hood, it stood in my instructionbook that "Only citroen workshop should check them".
So where to go now? I were out few secs and tried unlocking my car in different ways, I tried both types on the childlock while having both inside and outside doorhandle opened and then locking and unlocking, no success.

But on one setting I two times could feel that the handle got "dragged" back when I locked the car. So the lock is for sure "working" (moving)
