Detailed Description

This Dorman tailgate lock actuator motor is engineered for the rear tailgate locking system on 2010 Kia Soul models with an integrated latch assembly and 2011-2013 Kia Soul tailgate applications. It is designed to restore the electrical movement that releases and secures the tailgate latch, helping the rear hatch operate as intended. This part cross-references OE-style numbers 812301H000 and APDLA0376 for the same application. The Dorman 937-150 is a practical replacement choice when the original actuator motor no longer responds consistently or fails to move the latch.

What It Helps Fix

• Tailgate that will not lock or unlock electrically
• Rear hatch release that works intermittently
