Description
Electric central locking actuator for the right rear door for PEUGEOT 308 Passenger side door
This electric lock/actuator is a direct-fit solution for the right rear (passenger side) door of the Peugeot 308. Designed to operate the central locking mechanism, it replaces a faulty or worn locking unit to restore reliable door locking and unlocking via the vehicle’s remote or door switches. The part is commonly referenced by OE and supplier numbers, so customers and technicians often search using those codes to confirm fitment.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën/Peugeot)
- Model: Peugeot 308 — Right Rear Door (Passenger Side)
- Product Codes: 732074, A04068, 9138Z7
- Additional Numbers: 9800617480
Function and Features
The unit houses the electric motor and gearset that actuates the lock latch when receiving a command from the vehicle’s central locking system. It also includes microswitches/position sensors used by the body control module to determine door open/closed and locked/unlocked states. Proper operation is essential for vehicle security, comfort functions, and alarm systems.
How To Replace
Replacement is straightforward for an experienced technician or competent DIYer with basic tools. Typical steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting to avoid short circuits and to protect electronic modules.
- Remove the inner door trim and any protective vapor barrier to access the lock assembly.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and linkages (rods/cables) attached to the lock mechanism. Note linkage positions for reassembly.
- Unscrew the lock actuator from the door and remove the old unit.
- Install the new actuator, reconnect linkages and electrical connector, then test locking/unlocking before reassembling the door trim.
Installation Recommendations
- Always Disconnect Battery Before Work: Prevents accidental short circuits and protects vehicle electronics.
- Protect Door Trim And Clips: Use trim tools to avoid damage when removing panels.
- Check Linkage Orientation: Refit rods/cables exactly as removed to ensure correct latch operation.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply suitable grease to latch pivot points to reduce wear and noise.
- Test Fully Before Reassembly: Verify remote and manual locking/unlocking, child locks, and door detect switches.
Why This Part Usually Fails
Electric door locks typically fail due to a combination of mechanical wear and environmental exposure. Common causes include worn internal gears or motor, water ingress and corrosion, seized linkages, or intermittent electrical connector faults. Symptoms before failure often include slow or noisy operation, intermittent locking, or complete loss of lock actuation for the affected door.
Notes For Buyers
Searches for this component are often performed using part numbers listed above. Ensure the listed product codes match the defective unit on the vehicle. If you are uncertain about the mechanical condition of surrounding linkages or door alignment, inspect and correct these items during replacement to avoid repeated failures.
