Door Locking Mechanism

[spacebiscuit]

The rear passenger door on my 2018 DS7 isn't locking when I lock the car. When I put my ear by the other rear door and lock the car I can hear the mechanism engaging, but on the faulty said I don't hear anything.

I'm guess it is the motor on the latch? This happened around 18 months ago (middle of the summer) and then seemingly the problem went away so I didn't investigate further - not sure when it returned exactly though.

There are a few used parts on ebay - I think the part I need in the middle of the 3 pieces - presumably it can be disconnected form the interior door handle (right) and the left part (inards for the external handle?)



I'm wondering if I remove the door card whether I can manually lock the door until I find a replacement part?

Is that same part used in any other PSA cards so that I can possibly cast my net a little further - the part number would be helpful.

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks.

Have a read of the handbook and it might say on the edge of the door you can insert a key and turn it so when you close the door it is locked.

Unfortunately I don't have a manual key - only the fob - I bought the vehicle second hand privately.

Maybe a screwdriver will work.

You should have a manual physical key as part of the fob. You are missing this one and have hole on the fob?

You're right - I missed that, I found it! How will this help though - only the driver's door can be locked with the physical key. The other 4 days already lock with the fob - there is no where to use the key on the rear passenger doors?

Should be it..

Amazing thanks - that should do the trick until I replace the lock. Appreciate the heads-up.

I followed the instructions - however after removing the black rubber cap with the key all I could see was white plastic - no slot for the key. I tried on the good passenger door too which was the same. Now when I close the doors the rear handles do not open the car which I what I need short term albeit not quite how the manual described the procedure!
