This door lock actuator is a direct replacement for Genuine Part Number Reference: 51217229461. Also known as a door catch, door latch, central locking motor or door lock mechanism, it is the complete left front, passenger side door lock assembly with the actuator motor, microswitches built in. Replacing a failed lock cures a door that will not open from either handle, central locking that skips one door, and interior light or alarm faults caused by a false door-open signal.
