In order to replace the door lock of the Citroën C3, first you need to loosen the screws that secure the door panel to its housing: once the fastening screws of the panel, located in the handle seat and near the window button, have been loosened, it will be possible to detach the panel.

When the panel is removed, you will be able to locate the cable connected to the lock: you will need to disconnect it and also loosen the screws that secure the cylinder.

It will now be possible to remove the cylinder from its housing to insert the new replacement piece.
