Description
Electric central locking latch for the left front door for Peugeot 308 vehicles.
High-quality replacement electric door lock assembly designed for the left front door of the Peugeot 308. This unit restores reliable central locking function, door latching security and correct door sensor signalling. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who search by OE numbers—commonly referenced under 9800616680, A048069 or 9135CN—this lock helps eliminate problems such as intermittent locking, door not staying closed, or false open-door warnings.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Peugeot/Citroën)
- Model: Peugeot 308 (Left Front Door)
- Product Codes: 9800616680, A048069
- Additional Numbers: 9135CN
Function
The unit is a combined latch and electric actuator for the central locking system. It mechanically secures the door striker and contains the actuator motor and microswitches that report lock/unlock and door open/closed status to the vehicle body control module. Proper operation ensures door remains latched under driving loads and that central locking commands are executed reliably.
How It Is Replaced
- Prepare: Park on level ground, put the ignition off and remove the key from the ignition. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits while working on electrical connectors.
- Remove Interior Trim: Carefully remove the door card using trim tools to avoid breaking clips. Remove any screws and the waterproof membrane if present.
- Disconnect Components: Detach the electrical connector from the lock unit and unclip or unbolt the mechanical linkages/rods to the door handle and central locking rods. Note positions for reassembly.
- Unbolt Lock Assembly: Remove the mounting bolts securing the lock to the door and extract the old unit from the door cavity.
- Install New Unit: Fit the new latch, secure bolts to manufacturer torque where possible, reconnect rods and electrical connector, realign and test latch operation by cycling the central locking and opening/closing the door before refitting trim.
- Final Check: Reattach the door card and test all locking functions, interior and exterior handles, and the door sensor indications on the instrument panel.
Installation Recommendations
- Work With Suitable Tools: Use trim removal tools, Torx or metric sockets as required and a multimeter for electrical checks.
- Test Before Reassembly: Always verify full mechanical and electrical function (manual lock/unlock, central locking command, door open/closed switch) before refitting the door card.
- Handle Connectors Carefully: Inspect connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage; clean contacts if necessary and apply dielectric grease to reduce future corrosion.
- Observe Manufacturer Procedures: Follow manufacturer torque settings and assembly order where available. Disconnecting the battery is recommended when working on electrical components to avoid short circuits or unintended airbag deployment.
Why This Part Most Commonly Fails
- Mechanical Wear: Plastic gears and internal latching components wear over time, causing the latch to stick or fail to engage fully.
- Water Ingress and Corrosion: Door seals or drainage failures allow moisture to reach the lock, corroding contacts and motor components.
- Impact and Misalignment: Door impacts or poorly adjusted strikers cause excessive stress on the latch and linkage, leading to breakage.
- Electrical Failure: Actuator motors or microswitches can fail after repeated cycles or due to connector corrosion.
