Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
- Model: Peugeot 308
- Product Codes: 9136CR, A04958, 006165
- Other Numbers: 9800616580
Function And Symptoms
The actuator converts electrical signals from the central locking system into a mechanical movement that locks or unlocks the door latch. Typical symptoms of a failing actuator include the door not locking or unlocking with the remote or interior switch, intermittent operation, unusual grinding or clicking noises from inside the door, or the need to operate the lock manually.
Installation
- Disconnect the battery before starting work for safety.
- Remove the door trim panel: take out visible screws, pry off trim clips carefully with a trim tool, and release any electrical connector for window/lock switches.
- Peel back the moisture/vapor barrier without damaging it to access the inner door components.
- Disconnect the actuator electrical connector and any linkage rods or clips attached to the latch mechanism.
- Remove mounting screws/bolts securing the actuator and extract the unit from the door.
- Fit the replacement actuator, reconnect linkage and electrical connector, then reassemble the door in reverse order.
- Reconnect the battery and test: verify remote locking/unlocking, interior switch, and manual lock operation. Check for abnormal noises or binding.
Recommended Tools And Tips
- Trim removal tool set, Torx/Phillips screwdrivers, small socket set.
- Needle-nose pliers for linkage clips and a flashlight to inspect inside the door cavity.
- Protect the door card and paintwork with a cloth; take care with the moisture barrier to avoid future water ingress.
- After installation, operate the lock several times to ensure smooth movement and correct alignment of linkage rods.
Installation Recommendation
Perform the replacement in a dry, clean workspace. If you are not comfortable removing door trim or working near electrical connectors, consider professional installation. Always follow vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines and safety procedures.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common causes of failure are water ingress and corrosion inside the door, worn electric motor brushes or gears, broken or stripped plastic gear components, and deteriorated linkage clips or rods. Heavy use, exposure to moisture, and aging of plastic parts accelerate wear. Early symptoms usually appear as intermittent operation or noisy movement before complete failure.
Notes
The actuator is frequently searched by its product numbers listed above; matching these codes helps ensure correct fitment. Replacement typically restores original locking function when mechanical linkage and door latch are in good condition.
