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.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Stellantis / Peugeot
• Model: Peugeot 308 (Right Rear Passenger Door)
• Product Codes: 9800617480, 732074, A04068, 9138Z7
• Additional Numbers: 9138.Z7

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.

Suitable For

Intended for use on Peugeot 308 models requiring a right rear passenger door central locking latch. Check the product codes listed above against the vehicle’s parts references to confirm fitment before ordering.

Installation

Replacing the front passenger door lock requires basic trim removal and careful handling of the door’s internal components. Typical steps:

• Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid short circuits and protect the vehicle electronics.
• Remove the door trim and any clips or screws holding the inner panel. Peel back the water/vapor barrier carefully.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the lock actuator and release the locking rods or cables attached to the latch.
• Unbolt the lock assembly from the door and remove it. Fit the new lock, reconnect rods/cables and the electrical plug, then secure fasteners to original positions.
• Reinstall the vapor barrier and door trim. Reconnect the battery and test the central locking, remote function and door latch operation several times.

Installation Recommendations

• Use appropriate trim tools to avoid damaging clips and interior panels.
• Check and, if necessary, replace worn clips, gaskets or damaged rods when fitting the new lock.
• After installation verify that the door closes smoothly and that the central locking cycles fully; adjust rod linkages if needed.
• If electrical faults persist after replacement, inspect the connector for corrosion and the wiring loom for breaks before replacing other components.

Common Failure Reasons

• Mechanical Wear: Plastic gears and latch components wear over time, leading to sticking or incomplete latching.
• Water Ingress and Corrosion: Moisture can penetrate the lock assembly causing corrosion or short circuits in the actuator.
• Actuator Motor Failure: The small electric motor inside the actuator can fail after extended use.
• Damaged Linkages: Bent or disconnected rods/cables prevent proper operation even if the lock unit is functional.
• Electrical Connector Issues: Corroded or loose connectors cause intermittent function or complete loss of central locking signal.

Typical Lifetime

Service life depends on usage and environment. Under normal conditions many door locks remain functional for several years; high mileage, frequent use, or exposure to moisture/salt can shorten lifespan. Inspect the mechanism during routine service intervals and replace at the first sign of sticking, noise or unreliable locking.

Who Should Install

Suitable for experienced DIY mechanics comfortable with door trim removal and basic electrical connectors. For diagnostics of electrical faults or complex central locking issues, professional workshop equipment and experience are recommended.
