Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2005205 door lock jammed
Hi - I have a 1993 205 GTX, central locking, and the OS rear door has jammed shut. I've taken the lining off, and access to the lock is extremely ltd. When I operate the central locking, all the right things seem to move, but the door just doesn't open. The lock button (the sticky-up thing) moves a little, but may not be moving fully. Any hints on how to fix it, or clues as to where I might find a decent diagram - without being able to access the lock direct, it's hard to work out what's going on. I did consider trying to take the door off by removing the hinges, but there is a little door-stay lever thingy that also has to be removed to enable this, and access to that is also tricky. Hey ho.

Ah - thanks. Is the idea to reach up inside the door and try to pull the button down manually? (I'll try it when it gets light!) nick >> On models without central locking there's a linkage inside the door >> near/below the button which doesn't always return (downwards) >> properly.

Sort of - that's not a bad way of thinking where to get your hand (at least on the one I had) but there's some leverage in there so the effect isn't the same. In the front passenger door of our 205 the lock stopped returning and I had to add a spring (attached with coat-hanger wire!)

Solution was to take handle off, and get some oil into lever pivot. Then apply plasters to scratched hands. >>Hi - >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Solution was to take handle off, and get some oil into lever pivot. Then > apply plasters to scratched hands. Thanks (esp for the health care advice...) How does one remove the handle?

And watch the little tie rods. >>>The problem I had with the 205 was the outside handle, the one you lift > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Take the inner panel off and you will see a nut at either end of the handle. > And watch the little tie rods.
