🔒 Tailgate Lock Actuator Motor for Ford, Mazda, and Mercury Models - Dorman 937-663 Review

First - it works. 2009 Ford Escape. Compared to a genuine Ford part, the cost reduction is obvious. I'm a little worried about the quality of the electrical connections. They are clearly not manufactured within the tolerances for the connector type. The fit is poor and no one will tear. The plating on the pins looks poor (in fact there is none on one of the connectors). I hope he will continue to work in the years to come. I have a car but I don't expect it to last as long as the original.

and even better I paid half the price I would have paid if I bought it from a local Ford dealer. After pulling out the bad one, I took a closer look at the parts next to it and they are identical. There is a date code on the side of the drive I think. If actually my old one was from 2002 and the one I got from the end of 2015.

I highly recommend replacing the gasket as well, otherwise you'll have to replace it again and end up with a rusted…

I have a 2009 Ford Escape and they have a history of the lock actuator failing and staying closed due to water ingress. I had a trunk latch that hadn't locked for 9 months. I went to the dealer and got an offer of over $600 to fix the problem. After doing some research I found that this is a very common problem and there are several articles and YouTube videos with step-by-step instructions on how to fix the problem yourself. This part is perfect, you don't need to buy an auto manufacturer…

I got my drive motor today and it was easy after understanding a few things. My only problem was unlocking the engine so I could open the tailgate so I could completely remove the plastic trim to gain access. I checked out the best videos I found on YouTube but found I couldn't get enough pressure under the latch to pull it far enough to release the latch. Between the big hand and the carpal tunnel in both hands, it just wouldn't work for me. The service technician showed in the video how to…
