Hi,

I've just bought a Citroen C3 XTR on a 54 plate.

I bought this cheap as it needs a small job doing on it. :roll:

I'm hoping someone on hear can help before Citroen Charge me £500+ to fix this problem.

Right, down to the problem:
Deadlocks

I can unlock the car with the key in the drivers door, but can't open any other door:

Looks like they've all been deadlocked:

I've removed the car radio as I've seen on here that this can sometimes upset the locking:

I've tried the BSI Reset - No luck :?:

I've replaced the batteries in the remote - No luck :?:

Can anyone on here please help ????

Thanks

Paul

Probably the remote transponder has failed.

You can use the other remote key to prove this (or prove 2 faulty keys).

An auto locksmiths should be able to tell you if the key is giving out a signal. Lexia will tell you if its the right signal.
