You could try disconnecting the battery for five or ten minutes. That seems to be the cure for many of C5's foibles.

If not a new actuator on that door maybe

I have the same problem with one of the rear door: locks ok, but doens't always unlock.
I have removed the lock and noticed the solenoid does not always energize. Left it there, as Citroën charges me 130€ for a complete lock (the locks have an integrated locking mechanism, it's a complete substitution

).
