Hi

My backdoor in my 2003 307 2,0 SE suddenly will not open at all. The central
locking
sounds like it operates but i'm still not able to open the door form either
side.
From the outside the handle feels like when it is locked.

Any one have any ideas??
Any one know how to remove the inner trim??

Hi

I just want to clearify - it is the door behind the drivers door (5D) / back
passenger door that is stuck

To get the rear side doors open, pull off the outer window scraper
seal and let it hang out of the way (it's attached to the vertical
runner seal). Then look down the gap and operate the outer handle and
you'll be able to see the part of the lock that needs moving. (You may
need a penlight to see clearly.)
This should work!! BUT I have had to break the lock with a long
screwdriver and a hammer either through the gap or by removing the
inner door trim which you can just about do with the door closed!
Either way, you need a new lock. Not warranty??

Remove the trim around the inner handle. Prise off the window winder
if fitted. Remove the torx screw holding the plastic door pull, and
remove said door pull. There is a screw halfway down on the hinge
side, which you can just about get at. Once again a torx screw. Then
get your fingers behind the trim where the srew was and pull toward
you working your way around. Then lift off and disconnect the speaker
wire.
You only need to do this if you cant move the lever from the outside
through where the scraper seal was.

if you have the std  three years warranty then take it to the dealer and let
them smash the lock to pieces

In Denmark - Peugeot do not provide warranty at all - there are only a 2
year
'claim' period where they might repair on their account if it is obvious
that the error
was potentionally there from the beginning.

update. I did manage to get the door opened again
without destroying the lock.

It sounds totally stupid - but i went to the carwash yesterday
and this morning it just opened.
We did have it quite cold last night (-2?C) but if that have had
any influence i'm not too sure about

Thanks for all the good advices - i'm going to remove the inner trim
anyway because i want top check the speakers

Hello Niels,

I  got the same problem as you. My back door also locked. It actually did it
twice. This winther and last winther. Last winther I didn't do anything
about it. But one day during the spring it was OK again. This winther it did
it again. This time I try to solve it. I removed the inner trim and the
sealing behind that. Then I was able to unmount the lock. I mingled with
lock, but apparently without any success. I also unplugged the electrical
connection to the lock. Since I didn't have any success fixing the lock, I
mounted the lock again. But when I tried the lock after I had mounted it, it
worked!!

My suspicion is that it was the remove af electrical connection that
actually fixed the problem. More specifically, I think the lock suffers of a
so called "latch-up-problem", i.e. the electronic/mekanic in the lock goes
into a dead-lock situation. If door jamms again next winther, my first try
would be to simply unplug the battery.

BTW, my car is a 307 from Jan 2002 - and I'm also living in Denmark.

BR,
Flemming
