My guess on your pop is a broken anti sway bar mount. Generally if one breaks the other side is right behind it. All the kits I have seen have both so if that's your problem change them both.
As for your PDL, do they lock with a key fob? or with the passenger side switch? Or no locking going on at all?

Remove citroen c3 rear door panel

Check out how the door panels are attached to the car. Most panels use screws and bolts but others have snap-in fittings. Gather all the tools you need for removing the door panels. If the panel is attached with screws and bolts, you need a screwdriver or ratchet and socket. Car door panels with snap-in fittings are easily removed with a flathead screwdriver.
Locate where the screws and bolts are before starting. These are usually found in the arm rest area, along the bottom or sometimes near the door lights.
Roll down the car door window. Begin removing all screws and bolts that hold the door panel onto the car. If your car has snap-in fittings, pry gently on the bottom corner of the door panel until the fittings pop out.
Remove the power window control panel if your car has power windows. The control panel should pry out easily, and then you unplug the wiring harness from the back and place it to the side.
Use an L pick and flashlight when locating a manual window crank. Look behind the window crank and slide the pick under the edge of the metal clip that holds the crank in place. Remove the clip and pull the crank off.
Remove the door handle by unscrewing the small screw located in the center. Gently pull the door handle out until you see the back of the handle and unclip the rod from the door handle. This should remove the handle unless the handle and door lock are attached, then you just unclip the rod from the lock and remove them both together.
Unscrew the cap off rear upper corner door panel locks. These don't have a rod attaching them to the handle and unscrew separately from the door handle.
Pop the door panel off after you've removed everything. Gently pry on the bottom edge of the door panel until it releases. Pull out and up to completely remove the door panel.

After you push the power button you hear a POP sound and it dies. It previously wouldn't release the door lock.

Most deadbolts use a cylinder lock. In the cylinder lock, the key turns a cylinder, or plug, which turns an attached cam. When the plug is turned one way, the cam pulls in on the bolt and the door can open.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought a new door latch for passenger door that dodge said was broken but i cant find out how to take door apart and to install the new on

Hi there. I myself have a dodge and just last week was working on the inside of my door panels. To take the interior door panel off you may need a screwdriver to help. With the door open you first remove any screws that might be accessible with a screwdriver. once you are done or is there aren't any go to the bottom corner of the door that is opposite of the hinge side, then with the flat head screwdriver, insert it inbetween the plastic door panel and the metal part of the door. (At this point you may feel like your going to break the door but you wont) slowly start to pry the panel away untill you can get your fingers between the panel and door, then pull the panel away slowly. You will hear what sounds like plastic popping, that is little plastic rivets comeing out of the holes. keep doing that to the rest of the panel untill its loose. At this point you may need to twist off the door lock knob or pop it through the hole. then you can pop out the switches and disconnect the wires. the door should come free and you will be able to see what you are trying to replace. It will just bolt in. installation is reverse of removal. I really hope this helps you, please rate if i do.

Thank you for your question.

How do I remove drivers door panel to get at power window motor?

Found this while looking to replace speakers:

DOOR WITH POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS First remove the triangle piece in the top corner of the panel (piece closest to the outside mirror). This can be done with a plain screwdriver and just a little
prying and it will snap off. Second, remove the door lock inset, same screwdriver, little prying
and it snaps out. Next remove the cover inside the door handle, same screwdriver, pry and snaps out
(turn it upside down and slide it off. Now you will need to remove the cover that holds the window
and door lock buttons, same screwdriver and pry upwards just a little and should pop off. Ok now you
will need a small socket to take out three screws. One is inside the button panel you just took off,
the second is inside corner of the door arm, (the handle you grab to shut the door, look under it,,
see it yet, yeah thats it). The last screw in on the very bottom of the whole door panel, you will
have to get on your hands and knees to see this one Now would be a good time to remove the door light on the corner, same screwdriver, pry from the red lens side outward, once out, remove the wire termial. Ok.... now grab the under side of the panel where that last screw was and lift upwards, apply a little more pressure till the panel pops upward about an inch. Now your door panel is loose, you can lift it off a little but you will need to remove the wire from the tweeter. The termial has a locking tab you need to press down to remove it.

Front door panel removal

There is a triangular piece, at top corner, covering a screw behind the mirror. Remove that screw. Remove the piece that covers the handle and remove the screw holding the handle to the door. Look through, where door handle was and remove another screw just above where the handle was. This screw is holding the panel to the actual door. Pop the cover off for the automatic door locks and disconnect them. Lift the panel in an upward direction.
