Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 931-718 liftgate lock actuator
- Fits: 2008-2014 Volkswagen Jetta and other vehicles
- Material: Metal and plastic
- Condition: New
A liftgate that stays locked, will not latch or locks only some of the time can mean the lock actuator is worn. Before you replace it, rule out the fuse, the wiring to the liftgate and the lock switch, since any of them can leave the liftgate acting this way. The liftgate takes one actuator.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of Volkswagen models, including the 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan and the 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf. If your car is a different Volkswagen year or model, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
