Fits 2008-2018 Ford Taurus, N/A; Fits 2009-2016 Lincoln MKS, N/A; Fits 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, N/A. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

• Power lock operation at the liftgate stops working.
• Original actuator is worn, stuck, or electrically unresponsive.

Installation Notes and Tips
