grahamparker Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Is there any method of locking a Citroen C3 without using the remote. Had this a number of times where you can press the lock button on the dash but as soon as you open a door the central locking unlocks all doors. You can then manually lock the drivers door but every other door is open. Just had an old lady in we put new batteries in both remotes and both work fine, but her signal must be getting blocked as sometimes the remote refuses to work so she will go home rather than leave the car unlocked. I did manage to lower a window close the door press the lock button on the dash flick the electric window button and grab they key quickly but this isn't really an option for most.

petercoulson Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I can't say for certain but if it is like Renaults, lock the car with the manual button inside while the driver door is open then close door and use key to lock door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only way Graham, Remote keys only on C2 and C3 as no central locking via mechanical key. grahamparker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cheers Terry, thought as much. The problem is my customer has 2 remote keys (1 is only 3 months old) but they seem to stop working in cetain areas so she cannot lock her car.

grahamparker Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The one i had in had the lock on the drivers door.

Some do operate the central locking by key only, but the majority need a remote to lock all doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Southern Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It must be some only as I had one that wouldn't lock without a remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 It must be some only None of the Citroen C2 or C3 models will central lock with a mechanical key period. Citroen don't show a P/N for a standard key!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecRich Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi Iv found a way take off the drivers door panel unplug the wires form the drivers door lock now when you push the button on the dash it will lock all doors apart from the drivers door which you can use the key so lock and unlock all doors apart from the drivers with the switch on dash grahamparker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
