Boot will not lock Citroen C1

[mk08]

Hi All

We just bought a 09 plate C1. The boot lid opens with a Black button near boot even when the car is locked.

Can someone please guide me how to lock the boot?

Thanks in advance

If the doors are locked the boot should be locked. There's no secret.
Central locking's not working.

Thank you for replying.
Do you mean there is issue with central locking?

The doors are locked with key but the boot still opens with that button.

He's saying that if the car is locked he can still open the boot manually with a button that's situated on the car's bodywork.

That's correct. Thank you.

It shouldn't.
We have a 107, which is the same car.
Lock the doors and the boot button doesn't work.
Unlock the doors and it does.
You have a fault.

Thank you. Is it easy fixable?

The only fault I've had to fix on the boot has been water pissing in, sorry.

Sounds like your central locking is working as your doors lock and unlock, however your boot does not.

I suspect the lock actuator for the boot is faulty. This is usually a small motor that triggers the boot to lock and unlock with the key. If it fails the boot will not lock.

Silly question perhaps. But my Ibiza unlocks all when I have they key in my pocket touching the drivers door handle and locks by touching the drivers door handle… also. If the car is locked but I have the key in my pocket i can open boot/hatch by lifting the SEAT sign/handle but it won’t unlock the other doors. If I don’t hv the key on me nothing will open, including the boot.

My question is then…can you open the boot if you don’t hv the key with you or very nearby?

I don't know if that's useful or if it's for the correct 107/C1/Aygo

That age C1 doesn’t have keyless entry.

It looks like this, will be near the boot catch.

Agreed. We have an Aygo (same car) and that's how it works.

Yep. Until they're fixed.
Lights are usually the culprit.
