Door won't open - Ben79
My 1999 Xsara 5 door won't open one of the back doors. The button on the inside moves when you use the remote. I thought at first it may have been iced shut this morning, but that is now not a possibility.

When moving the locking button inside on the back door, the clicking noise sounds the same as the working door.

I have removed the door panel and cut away some of the plastic inside and can feel the rods from the locking button, inside door handle and the child lock switch entering into the lock, but cannot see very much. I do not have the time today to be removing the window runner in order to see more of the mechanism.

Has anybody had a similar problem with another Citroen or Peugeot?

Thanks in advance.
Ben
