Product Description
This electric lock/actuator for the left rear door is a direct-fit replacement for Citroën C5 first and second generation vehicles. Supplied as a used part with verified functionality, it restores reliable central locking operation, eliminates intermittent locking problems and allows technicians and DIYers to return the door to full function quickly. The part is commonly searched by its product code 913784, making it easy to find for quick repairs and inventory management.
Compatibility
Fits Citroën C5 I (first generation) and Citroën C5 II (second generation). Applicable body styles include Saloon/Sedan and Estate/Tourer (depending on vehicle specification). Check the part number 913784 when matching with your vehicle for a correct fit.
How Replacement Is Performed
Typical replacement steps: Disconnect the battery, remove the interior door trim and the vapor/moisture barrier, locate the lock actuator inside the door shell, disconnect the electrical connector and detach the linkage rods, remove the fasteners securing the lock assembly, fit the replacement unit, reconnect the rods and connector, test central locking and door open/close operation, then reassemble the door trim. Test the locking function several times before final reassembly to ensure correct operation and alignment.
Installation Recommendations
Always work in a safe, dry environment and use the appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging clips and trim panels. Lubricate latch contact points and linkage with an approved white lithium or graphite door-latch lubricant. Inspect the wiring connector and harness for corrosion or abrasion; replace any damaged clips or fasteners. If the door has drainage or water ingress issues, address those to prevent premature failure of the new actuator. Test the unit with the door open and closed and cycle the central locking to confirm full functionality before reinstalling the door card.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Door lock actuators commonly fail due to moisture ingress, corrosion of electrical contacts, worn plastic gears or seized mechanical components inside the actuator, and fatigue of linkage or mounting points. Rear-door actuators are particularly exposed to water and dirt entering via seals and drain channels, which accelerates wear. Electrical faults in the connector or intermittent supply can also lead to motor burnout or erratic operation.
