Description
Overview
This Electric Left Door Lock is a direct-fit replacement designed for the Peugeot 207 (3-Door) range. It restores door locking, unlocking and secure latching via the vehicle’s central locking system. Suitable for professional workshops and experienced DIYers who search by part numbers such as 24090816 or 9135V6.
Function And Benefits
The unit combines a mechanical latch and an electric actuator responsible for locking and unlocking the door. Replacing a worn or faulty lock restores reliable door closure, eliminates intermittent locking faults and prevents water ingress that can damage door electrics. As a direct-fit component it saves time during installation and reduces adjustment work on the door mechanism.
Common Failure Modes
Typical causes of failure include wear to the latch mechanism, corrosion from moisture, actuator motor wear, broken internal gears, or linkage/rod disengagement. Symptoms to watch for: the door won’t lock or unlock electrically, unusual grinding or whining noises during operation, the door won’t stay closed, or central locking works intermittently.
Replacement And Installation
Replacement is straightforward for a competent DIYer and quick for a trained mechanic. Recommended steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent shorts while working on the central locking system.
- Remove the interior door trim and protective vapor barrier to access the lock assembly.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and unclip any locking rods or linkages from the latch.
- Unscrew the retaining bolts and remove the old lock unit; transfer any required striker pieces or cables if instructed by fitment notes.
- Install the new lock, reconnect rods and the electrical connector, then test locking/unlocking before refitting the door trim.
Typical installation time: about 30–60 minutes for a DIYer with basic tools; faster in a professional shop. Always verify electrical connectors and rod positions for smooth operation and correct alignment of the latch.
Maintenance And Lifespan
Lifespan depends on usage and environment. Moisture and road salt accelerate corrosion and may shorten service life. Regular inspection and lubrication of linkages can prolong performance. If the actuator exhibits sluggish movement or strange noises, replacement is recommended to avoid lockout situations.
