When a rear door no longer locks or unlocks from the switch or key fob, and a failed actuator is the cause, the Standard Ignition Door Lock Actuator (DLA-33) replaces it. This is the electric actuator that drives the rear door latch mechanism between the locked and unlocked positions. It serves as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1995-2003 Ford Crown Victoria, 1998-2003 Lincoln Town Car, 1991-2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, 1990-1995 Mercury Sable, and 1989-1998 Ford Taurus — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
If your diagnosis confirms the original actuator is the fault, this unit is designed to restore that door's power-lock operation. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as wiring, switches, or the module can produce similar symptoms.
Manufacturer part number DLA-33.
