Tailgate Lock Actuator – Renault Twingo Electric & Smart EQ ForTwo
This tailgate lock comes with the electric actuator built in. It is the lock that holds the tailgate shut and releases it when you press the button or use the key fob. It has a four-pin plug and is operated electrically.
The lock is used every time the boot is opened, and the actuator motor and micro switches inside wear with use. Common signs are a tailgate that will not open from the button or the fob, one that will not latch shut, or a dashboard warning that the boot is open when it is closed. Water getting into the lock can also cause corrosion and intermittent faults that come and go with the weather.
