Hi philtop

It could be a BSI problem (fuse box in the glove box) including the plug to the BSI for the locks, but also the rear locking solenoid pack.

You can change the door solenoids packs with a bit of effort

This topic has pictures and instructions for removing the door solenoid pack citroen-c3-tips/c3-rear-door-lock-remov ... -t162.html
