Description
Electric central locking latch for the right rear door of Citroën Xsara Picasso. Door behind the front passenger.
This electric right rear door lock is designed for Citroën Xsara Picasso models and restores reliable central locking operation on the passenger side rear door. Ideal for professional mechanics and skilled DIYers, the unit fits into the original mounting points and connects to the vehicle’s existing wiring harness. Replacing a faulty latch improves security, prevents water ingress at the lock mechanism, and restores smooth door actuation when using remote locking or the interior switches.
Key Features and Benefits
– Direct fit for Citroën Xsara Picasso right rear door (passenger side).
– Restores central locking and mechanical locking functions.
– Suitable for workshop replacements and DIY repairs.
– Improves vehicle security and passenger convenience.
When To Replace
Replace this latch if the door does not lock or unlock with the central locking system, if the handle operation is stiff or intermittent, if the lock makes grinding noises, or if the door does not stay closed securely. Symptoms often include failure of remote locking on the affected door, abnormal noises from inside the door trim, or a loose locking rod connection.
Installation Procedure (Overview)
Basic replacement steps for an experienced mechanic or DIYer:
1. Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to prevent short circuits and avoid damage to electrical components.
2. Remove the interior door trim using appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging clips.
3. Peel back the vapor barrier carefully to access the lock assembly.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector and detach the locking rods from the latch mechanism (note how rods and clips are oriented for reassembly).
5. Unscrew the latch unit from the door shell and remove it through the service openings.
6. Fit the new latch into position, secure the fasteners, reconnect rods and electrical plug, and test operation before reassembling the door trim.
7. Refit the vapor barrier and door card, reconnect the battery and verify central locking, manual lock/unlock, and child locks if fitted.

Recommended Tools
Trim removal tools, Torx and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter to check connector power if necessary. Keep small clips and screws organized for reassembly.
Installation Recommendations
Work in a dry, well-lit area. Always disconnect the battery before unplugging electrical connectors. Mark or photograph rod and clip positions before disassembly to ensure correct reassembly. Lubricate moving parts of the latch with a light, non-corrosive grease approved for door mechanisms. After installation, check the door closing force and central locking operation several times to confirm proper function.
Most Common Causes Of Failure
– Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture can corrode metal components and degrade plastic parts inside the latch.
– Mechanical Wear: Plastic gears, pawls, and levers inside the actuator can wear or break over time, especially on high-mileage vehicles.
– Electrical Faults: Wiring damage or connector corrosion can interrupt power to the actuator motor.
– Impact Damage: Door impacts or slammed doors can bend rods or damage the latch assembly.
Notes For Professionals
When performing the replacement in a workshop environment, verify that related door components (cables, rods, handles, and striker) are in good condition to avoid repeated visits. Testing the actuator with power applied before full reassembly can save diagnostic time.
