• Description:

  This genuine Ford lift-gate latch is the complete rear liftgate latch assembly with an integrated power lock actuator, the mechanism that catches and releases the striker to hold the liftgate closed and to power-lock and unlock it on Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility models equipped with the power lift gate. Ford catalogs it as a Lift-Gate Latch, also listed as a Latch Assembly Tailgate or Lock Actuator, and Ford notes that it includes the liftgate lock. When the internal motor or latch wears out, the liftgate may refuse to latch or unlatch, fail to respond to the key fob or interior release, pop open or stay locked, throw an ajar warning on the dash, or make grinding and clicking noises as the actuator strains. Owners searching for this part are typically dealing with a liftgate that will not open with the button, will not stay shut, or has an intermittent power lock, all classic signs of a failed latch actuator on this generation of Explorer. Installing the correct original assembly restores reliable latching, power locking, and the ajar-sensing switch so the rear gate seals and secures properly. This latch fits Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility from the 2013 to 2019 model years built with the power lift gate; a related build applies to vehicles without the power liftgate from the noted production date, so confirm your vehicle is optioned with the power lift gate before ordering. Align the latch to the striker and check that the release and lock functions cycle correctly after installation. As a genuine Ford component it matches the original electrical connector, mounting, and lock geometry for correct fit and operation.

• Notes: Includes Liftgate Lock.
