It features a plug-in attachment method that simplifies installation by connecting directly to the vehicle’s existing wiring system. The actuator includes a single female rectangular connector with six male pin terminals, ensuring a secure electrical connection. This unit does not come with activation rods, latch, or additional hardware, so it is intended as a direct replacement for the actuator component only.

  • Unusual noises or mechanical binding within the door lock mechanism
  • Inability to lock or unlock doors remotely or manually

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Standard Ignition DLA-555 door lock actuator requires removal of the door panel to access the existing actuator. Since this part uses a plug-in connection with a female rectangular connector, ensure the mating connector on the vehicle is clean and free of corrosion before installation. No additional hardware or activation rods are included, so reuse existing components as needed. Verify proper operation of the actuator before reassembling the door panel.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Standard Ignition manufactures the DLA-555 door lock actuator to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
