Genuine Tailgate Lock Actuator - OEM Grade 31484699
Fixes Tailgate That Won't Latch, Release, or Lock Electronically, Without the Dealer Price Tag
Your customer's vehicle has a tailgate that fails to open when the handle is pressed, won't latch securely when closed, or shows a tailgate ajar warning. The tailgate lock actuator has failed. They need a direct replacement that restores proper locking and release function — not a cheap unit that quits in months.
Direct OE Replacement: Manufactured to replace part number 31484699 (superseded by 32460236, also cross-references 31349952, 31440586, 31462203, 32149889, and 32394629), this tailgate lock actuator is the electromechanical latch mechanism that secures and releases the rear liftgate. Same mounting points, same electrical connector, and same plug-and-play fitment as the original. No adapters, no modifications required.
Restores Critical Cargo Access and Security: The tailgate lock actuator is the primary mechanism that keeps the cargo area secure and allows access when needed. A failed unit can leave the tailgate stuck shut, refusing to latch, or triggering a persistent dashboard warning. This replacement restores reliable electronic locking and release, keeping the vehicle fully usable and secure.
Built to Outlast the Original: Available in premium aftermarket alternatives at competitive wholesale pricing. Each unit is inspected for correct latch engagement and reliable motor function. Backed by a 12-month warranty from qualified suppliers.
Broad Fitment: Fits a comprehensive range of compatible vehicle models from 2016 onward across multiple powertrains. Confirm model year, chassis number, and variant code via VIN before ordering.
