Xantia rear door stuck

Unread post by Stickyfinger »

Problem = rear left door will not open

Blipper on key not working/falling apart/no power even with new battery
Button is down and will not lift, I have not "forced" it yet
Handle moves but does not open the door (no "bite" ??-disconnected ??)

Obviously the door cards cannot be removed as they are trapped by the seals........so what to do ?

If it is a S1 Xantia, the lock and unlock signals come from the IR sensor board above the rear view mirror, and you can apply power to the wires to send an unlock signal.
