Description
Electric central locking latch for the right rear door for PEUGEOT 308. Passenger side door.
This electric door lock assembly is designed for the right rear passenger door of the Peugeot 308 and replaces the factory central locking latch. Built to restore reliable locking and unlocking by mechanical latch action and electric actuator, it is ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics who service Peugeot vehicles. The part is often searched by product codes such as 9800617480, 732074, A04068 or 9138Z7 — include these references when looking for a match.
Function and Benefits
The unit combines a mechanical latch and an electric actuator to operate the central locking mechanism. It secures the door, engages with the striker on the body, and receives lock/unlock signals from the central locking system. Replacing a worn or faulty latch restores proper door closing, prevents accidental opening while driving and ensures correct central locking operation.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
Removal and fitting are straightforward for a trained technician or competent DIYer with basic door trim experience. Typical steps:
- Remove interior door card and any moisture barriers to access the latch mechanism.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the actuator and detach linkage rods or cables from the latch.
- Unscrew the latch unit from the door shell (usually Torx or hex fasteners) and remove the old unit.
- Install the replacement latch in position, secure fasteners to specified torque, reconnect linkage and wiring, and re-fit the door trim.
- Cycle the central locking several times to verify correct operation and adjust linkages if necessary.
Tools And Tips
- Common tools: Torx set, screwdrivers, trim tools, pliers. A small socket set may be required.
- Inspect clips, cables and the wiring connector when fitting — damaged linkages or corroded connectors should be repaired to avoid repeat failures.
- Apply light, appropriate lubricant to moving parts of the latch after installation for smooth operation.

Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the battery before working on door electrics to avoid short circuits and prevent accidental actuator operation.
- Follow manufacturer procedures for door trim removal to prevent damage to clips and panels.
- Ensure connectors are clean and fully seated; repair any frayed wiring or corroded terminals.
- After fitting, verify door alignment and striker engagement. Test central locking from all entry points (remote, interior switch, manual key) to confirm correct function.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Common causes of failure include mechanical wear in the latch mechanism, water ingress leading to corrosion, deterioration of plastic parts or linkages, and motor/actuator failure due to age or electrical faults. Repeated moisture exposure or accumulation of dirt inside the door can accelerate wear. Addressing source issues (such as leaking seals or faulty drainage) helps prevent repeat failures.
