Standard Ignition Door Latch Assembly P/N:DLA1218

$87.99

Description

Standard Ignition DLA1218 front left door latch for the 1991-2001 Ford Explorer and other vehicles holds the door closed on its striker and releases it when you pull the handle.

Designed to meet Federal Safety Standards to reduce possibility of passenger entrapment
Corrosion-resistant housing for added durability
Tested for proper fit and reliable service

A door that won't stay shut, won't open, or rattles when closed can mean the latch is wearing out. A failing door lock actuator can act the same way, so these signs alone don't prove the latch is the problem. Each door has its own latch, and this one is for the front left door.

It fits the 1991-2001 Ford Explorer and the 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
