Deadlock stuck

Post by CITROEN-SUCKER »

Hi yet another hiccup
My c5's rear drivers side dore has jammed shut seems that the dead lock is active wont open from inside or outside. I took the pannel off frome inside just incase a link had broken but no luck still getting power to it so that seems fine but cant see anyway of getting it open so I can replace the lock
Any Ideas (other than getting another car) LOL
Thanks
J.J.

I believe you need a hammer and chisel to break the old lock off from the inside of the door. A new lock would be good if you want to close the door again.
I wimped out of doing that to my Xsara so paid the dealer because if their chisel went throught the door skin they have to repair it!
My C5 rear doors stopped opening from the outside, but the inside still worked, warranty replacement of both door locks fixed it.
