Detailed Product Information

Standard Ignition DLA-751 is a front left or left door lock actuator designed for vehicles that need reliable locking and latch release operation. It is a direct replacement for applications such as 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze, 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, 2015-2022 Chevrolet Trax, 2013-2016 Buick Encore, and 2010-2017 GMC Terrain. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 931-314 for the same application.

Use DLA-751 when the original actuator no longer responds correctly to the lock switch, the latch release feels inconsistent, or the door lock mechanism is not operating as expected. The design focuses on OE-style fitment and electrical connection details to match the original assembly.

What It Helps Fix

• Door lock not responding to the power lock switch
• Intermittent or slow lock and unlock operation
• Exterior latch release problems
• Sticking or inconsistent door locking function
• Passenger entry and exit issues caused by a failed actuator

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and door position before installation. This actuator uses a female oval connector with 6 blade terminals and is listed for front left or left positions only. Confirm whether your vehicle is equipped with passive entry, since some Buick and Chevrolet applications are listed without passive entry system. Professional installation is recommended when access to the latch assembly is limited.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition designs and tests this actuator to OE specifications for direct replacement use. The sealed case and electro-mechanical latch release design are intended to support dependable operation in daily service.
