Product Description
This rear tailgate lock assembly is a direct-fit replacement for the OEM units fitted to a number of Citroën and Peugeot hatchbacks and SUVs. The assembly integrates the locking mechanism and an electric actuator for central locking operation (depending on vehicle specification). It secures the tailgate in the closed position, engages with the striker on the body, and communicates with the central locking system to allow remote locking/unlocking.
Installation Recommendations
- Prepare Tools: Torx/screwdrivers, trim removal tools, socket set and panel clips as required.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work on electrical components to avoid short circuits and accidental actuation.
- Access: Open the tailgate and remove the inner trim panel to expose the lock mechanism and electrical connector.
- Disconnect: Unplug the electrical connector and any mechanical linkage (release rods or cables) connected to the lock.
- Remove: Unfasten the mounting bolts and remove the old lock assembly. Inspect striker and surrounding hardware for wear or damage.
- Fitment: Install the new lock, reconnect electrical and mechanical linkages, and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification where available.
- Adjustment: Check tailgate alignment and striker engagement. Lubricate moving parts with a suitable grease to ensure smooth operation.
- Function Check: Reconnect the battery, test central locking, remote unlocking and manual operation of the tailgate. Confirm proper latching and release.
Common Failure Causes
Tailgate locks typically fail due to a combination of mechanical wear and environmental effects. Common issues include:
- Corrosion and water ingress causing seized latch components or electrical connector faults.
- Mechanical wear of plastic or metal components inside the latch leading to unreliable engagement or inability to lock.
- Actuator motor failure or broken internal gears resulting in loss of electric locking/unlocking function.
- Impact damage from tailgate strikes or misalignment causing premature wear of the lock or striker.
Notes For Professionals And DIYers
Ideal for workshops and experienced DIYers: check OEM part numbers (listed above) to ensure correct fitment. When replacing the lock, also inspect the striker, wiring harness and tailgate seals to prevent repeat failures. If the vehicle exhibits central locking faults beyond the tailgate (multiple doors), perform a full system diagnosis to rule out wiring or module issues.
