Description
Electric central locking actuator for the left front door for Peugeot 308 vehicles.
The left front door electric lock (central locking actuator) designed for Peugeot 308 offers reliable door locking, latch release and remote central locking function. Supplied to fit vehicles using the referenced part numbers, this replacement part is aimed at professional mechanics and experienced DIYers who need a durable, OEM-compatible solution. Commonly searched by product codes 567148, 9135CN or 9800616680, this unit restores secure locking and smooth door operation when the original actuator shows signs of wear.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot
- Model: Peugeot 308
- Product Codes: 567148, 9135CN
- Other Numbers: 9800616680
Function and Purpose
The actuator operates the central locking mechanism on the left front door: it drives the latch to lock and unlock the door in response to remote or switch commands and provides the mechanical movement for door opening when the interior handle is used. It also communicates status to the vehicle central locking system via the wiring harness (locked/unlocked).
Replacement Procedure
Typical replacement steps (professional workshop procedure):
- Disconnect battery before starting any electrical work to avoid short circuits.
- Remove inner door trim and any protective vapor barrier to access the lock assembly.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and detach linkage rods or cables from the lock mechanism (note positions for reassembly).
- Unscrew the lock unit mounting screws/bolts and remove the old actuator.
- Install the new actuator, reconnect rods and electrical connector, then cycle the lock to check function before reassembling the door trim.
In most cases this actuator is a direct replacement and does not require control-unit coding. After installation, verify proper operation from both remote and interior switches and ensure that all linkage clips are secure.
Common Failure Modes and Service Life
Failures are usually caused by mechanical wear or environmental damage rather than complex electronics. Typical issues include:
- Worn or burned small electric motor inside the actuator.
- Broken or stripped plastic gears or internal levers.
- Water ingress and corrosion of contacts or moving parts.
- Damaged linkage rods, clips or door alignment causing extra load on the actuator.
Service life depends on usage and exposure to moisture and road conditions; units commonly fail after several years of service, especially on high-use or poorly sealed doors.
Installation Recommendations
- Use the correct tools and keep fasteners and clips organized for reassembly.
- Apply a light dielectric grease to electrical connectors to reduce corrosion risk.
- Check and, if necessary, adjust door alignment so the actuator is not overloaded by a misaligned latch.
- Replace any brittle or damaged linkage clips and worn rods at the same time to prevent repeat failures.
- Test lock operation through several open/close cycles before refitting the door trim.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
The most frequent cause of failure is mechanical wear of the small internal motor and plastic gear train, often accelerated by moisture ingress and corrosion. Accumulated dirt and repeated stress from misaligned doors or damaged linkage increase the load on the actuator, causing premature breakdown.
