This replacement unit is designed to match the original equipment’s shape and electrical connector so it installs cleanly in the rear liftgate cavity and re-establishes normal locking function. It’s an economical option when the OEM actuator (part numbers 9L8Z-7843150-B, 9L8Z843150B, 937-663 or 937663) has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this actuator fix my rear hatch problems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the actuator fails you may hear clicking, find the latch doesn’t engage, or the tailgate won’t respond to the key fob or interior switches. Replacing the actuator replaces the internal motor and linkage that operate the latch so electrical signals again translate into mechanical locking and unlocking. The OE-style connector helps ensure a reliable electrical connection without splicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores power lock motor and linkage inside the rear liftgate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates intermittent locking, clicking noises, or non-responsive hatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect-fit connector for plug-and-play installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMatches original actuator dimensions for proper alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles and part numbers does this unit fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis actuator is specified for a range of Ford, Mazda and Mercury compact SUVs from the late 2000s and early 2010s.
