If the central locking system is not working on your Citroen C2 and the garage has quoted a high price for a new key and programming, here are a few things you can check:

1. Check the fuses: Check the fuses for the central locking system. It's possible that a blown fuse could be causing the issue.
2. Check the battery: Ensure that the car battery is fully charged and functioning properly. A weak or dead battery can cause issues with the central locking system.
3. Check the wiring: Check the wiring for any damage or loose connections. The wiring for the central locking system is located behind the door panels.

Regarding the passenger door, if it is permanently locked, you can try the following steps to manually unlock it:

1. Remove the door panel: Remove the door panel to gain access to the lock mechanism.
2. Manually unlock the door: You can try to manually unlock the door by using a flathead screwdriver or a slim jim to manipulate the lock mechanism.
3. Check the lock mechanism: Once the door is unlocked, check the lock mechanism for any damage or wear. Replace any damaged parts as needed.

If you're not comfortable with these steps or if the issue persists, it's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue. They will have the knowledge and equipment necessary to properly diagnose and fix the problem.

check and manually move linkage to unlock ---use a long screwdriver to move lock mechanism or if unlocked move latch to release

i've had similar problems with a hyundai coupe , you have'nt mentioned your vehicle , the problem with the coupe was the drivers door lock , as a tempory solution i removed the central locking fuse until could get the lock mechanism changed for the customer, removing the fuse means you will have to lock/unlock vehicle with the key in the door lock

you can remove the central locking fuse , this will stop the lock/unlock constantly , the problem is usually with the drivers door lock mechanism , that is perhaps why you cant lock/unlock with the key, lock from inside vehicle and get out passenger side, that lock should work with the key until you get the lock changed on drivers door

no all is related to one fuse you can remove the door internal controls and decore and remove center lock motor plug and test two connectors with multimeter with set on 12v and then lock un lock door and check the reading of the multimeter if it read signal then all plugs and wires from central lock control unit to the door central lock unit is okay it this cae you have to replace the door central lock unit with the same if no signal is readed while you lock unlock the door then you have to check central control unit and all wire plus out of it to the door plug

2- you can remove central control unit from driver door and test it in passenger door (usually the same unit ) if it works with lock unlock its then the replaced unit is faulty and needs to be replaced if it not work then check plugs wires from central lock unit (usually found inside driver door ) to the central lock unit in passenger door

3- check signal for said door fro the output of central door unit if no signal then it mean that faulty central lock control unit

If the key turns in the lock, but does nothing, then the linkage has become disconnected or broken. The key is mechanical to the lock and the lock has a electrical switch to operate the central locking unit. Could be a simple broken clip from the lock barrel. Hope this helps

Unlock vehicle. Enter vehicle. Close driver's door. Switch ignition ON and OFF. Remove ignition key. Press and hold unlock button. Press lock button briefly 3 times within 10 seconds keeping unlock button depressed. Release unlock button. Some models: LED flashes slowly for 10 seconds. Some models: Central locking system locks and unlocks rapidly to indicate correct programming. Repeat above procedure if central locking system does not work and LED does not flash or LED flashes continuously.

the problem lies in the drivers side operating switch for the central locking .this would involve removing the drivers side door handle and checking the switch mechanism thats built into the lock,havent done one o n this model only a opel astra ---but they are different from the opel although the car looks the same ,well similar pull it off have a go ,the key barrel must turn something so look for an internal switching or external switching and see if the spring is ok that returns the switch

Hi, sounds like a lose rod inside the door,you need to remove the door panel to check it,....
