Dorman 937-866 Trunk Lock Actuator Motor

This trunk lock actuator motor is a direct replacement for the original equipment unit, built to restore proper trunk latch operation on select BMW models. It plugs into the factory wiring for a straightforward repair and is designed around the fit and function of the OE actuator.

Key Features

  • Direct replacement trunk lock actuator motor for BMW trunk latch repair
  • Electric activation with blade terminals
  • Plugs into the factory wiring without a custom harness
  • Housing combines plastic and metal construction
  • Matches OE fit and function for the original actuator motor
  • Brand: Dorman, Part Number: 937-866

Detailed Description

Dorman 937-866 is a trunk lock actuator motor engineered for BMW trunk lid and compartment applications where the original actuator no longer operates correctly. It is built with metal and plastic materials, uses an electric activation design, and features blade terminals for factory-style connection. This part cross-references Genuine 51247840617 for the same application. It is a practical OE-style replacement for BMW 328i, BMW 335i, BMW M3, and other listed models when the trunk latch needs renewed actuation. The Dorman 937-866 helps restore the electrical movement needed for normal trunk release and locking function.

What It Helps Fix

  • Trunk latch that does not release or lock properly
  • Intermittent or failed electric trunk actuator operation
  • Broken or worn OE actuator motor
  • Trunk lid that responds inconsistently to the release command
  • Factory wiring connection issues caused by a failed actuator unit
