Dorman - OE Solutions Trunk Lock Actuator Motor P/N:746-405
When a worn-out actuator is why your trunk no longer locks or releases on command, the Dorman trunk lock actuator motor 746-404 is designed to replace it as a direct-fit part for the 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat, 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton.
This non-integrated rear trunk actuator from Dorman - OE Solutions is engineered to drop in and work like the original actuator motor. It operates the trunk latch as the factory unit did and plugs directly into the factory wiring. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
Signs this part may need replacing include a trunk that won't lock or unlock electrically, operation that only works some of the time, or buzzing or clicking from the trunk area with no latch movement. Fuses, switches and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the actuator.
