Description

Help your tailgate latch, lock and respond to the key fob as designed with the Dorman Tailgate Latch Actuator 931-981, built to perform like the factory actuator it replaces. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2015-2023 Ford F-150, 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2017-2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

If your tailgate won't close or lock properly, or the key fob won't trigger the tailgate's open/close function, a failed latch actuator may be the cause. If it is, this direct-fit replacement is engineered to return proper closing function when the factory actuator has been damaged by corrosion, wear or collision impact. Dorman lists this part in its integrated door lock actuator line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the right tailgate latch actuator for a 2015-2023 Ford F-150?

Dorman 931-981 is a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2023 Ford F-150, the 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty and the 2017-2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

What does a tailgate latch actuator do?

It operates the tailgate latch's lock and open/close functions, including those triggered by the key fob, so the tailgate can close and lock as designed.

What are signs the tailgate latch actuator may need replacing?

Common signs are a tailgate that won't close or lock properly, or a key fob that won't activate the tailgate's open/close function. Other faults can cause these symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.

Why does a factory tailgate actuator fail?

Dorman notes that factory actuators can be damaged by corrosion, wear or collision impact. If a failed actuator is the cause of your problem, this unit is designed to replace it.

Is it built to perform like the original actuator?

Yes. Dorman designed it to perform like the original equipment actuator on the listed applications and builds it to strict specifications for reliable performance.
