C5 Back Door Lock

[Guest RichardC]

Hi, I've a 2003 2.0HDi C5. The rear, drivers side door is jammed shut. Seems like the solenoid is firing but I can't open it from inside or out because I've the child locks activated.I've been having difficulty getting the inside panel off but its kind if hanging off now and I can just about get my hand in at the locking mechanism with a squeeze. Can anyone guide me as to how I can 'feel my way around' and open the door from in there? Any help much appreciated!

Thanks

If not done already, I would have a search of the forum since this is a common problem.

Hello I had the same problem with the same door about a year ago, it has been fine ever since, I purchased a can of spray oil and cleaner, not WD40 as it contains water, I lifted the handle up on the door and with the nozzle from the can just kept spraying it in,,left it for a while about an hour then done the same again, I then locked and unlocked car on remote a couple of times, hey prestow it opened, first thing I did was to take off child lock,,mine has never stuck again, hope this helps.
