Citroen C4 Gp Boot Not Opening.

[Grandc4]

Iv heard it is a common problem... We shut boot to go shopping... We get a trolley full of shopping! then the boot doesnt open!! haha

 

So it too passing it over the back three seats to put in the boot! ( 2 child seats in ) so couldnt put down.

 

ANyway i watched a video on how to open the boot from inside and i have done that now. So i know what to do for next time. But im wondering how to change the lock? do i need to get one from a Citroen dealer i guess? 

 

Do i have to take off the back boot panel to have easy access to the locking mechanisim?

To get to the lock the lower plastic trim has to be removed - held by 2 bolts at the inner handles, 2 pins at the side of the lock and a lot of clips. The external plastic trim also may need removing - there are 5 bolts to undo from the inside and then a lot of clips and it looks as if the switch is clipped in to this trim. The lock is held by 2 bolts. When you try the switch can you hear the lock working ? If not it may be a wiring problem - check where it goes between the door and body and for a supply at the switch connector, or maybe a problem with the switch.
