Standard Ignition DLA1526 Trunk Lock Actuator Motor

Restore trunk latch operation with the Standard Ignition DLA1526 trunk lock actuator motor. This OE-style replacement is built with a bolt-on attachment method, a rectangular female connector, and 2 blade terminals for a direct electrical connection on supported Volkswagen applications.

Compatible with select Volkswagen Beetle, Touareg, Jetta, and Passat models, the DLA1526 is a practical replacement when the trunk release stops responding or the latch no longer actuates consistently. Standard Ignition DLA1526 is a direct-fit solution for vehicles that use this connector and mounting style.

Key Features

  • Trunk lock actuator motor for rear compartment latch operation
  • Bolt-on mounting method for secure installation
  • Rectangular female connector with 2 male blade terminals
  • Plastic and metal construction with black, gold, and white finish
  • No mounting hardware included
  • No wiring harness included

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition DLA1526 is a trunk lid and compartment actuator motor engineered for Volkswagen trunk latch systems that require a bolt-on actuator with a single rectangular connector. It is listed for 1999-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 2004-2008 Volkswagen Touareg, 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, and 1998-2001 Volkswagen Passat applications. If your vehicle has a failed trunk release motor, intermittent latch response, or a trunk that will not unlock electrically, this part addresses the actuator side of the repair. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 746-405 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

  • Trunk will not unlock with the switch or remote
  • Rear lid latch operates intermittently
  • Electric trunk release makes no response
  • Broken or worn actuator motor inside the latch assembly
  • Trunk release works only after repeated attempts

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and bolt-on mounting before installation. Transfer any reusable trim or latch components as needed, and confirm the actuator seats correctly in the trunk lid or compartment latch assembly. Always compare the original part number, including Standard Ignition DLA1526, against the removed unit before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies replacement electrical and body control components for service applications. This actuator is built with plastic and metal materials and is intended for vehicles that match the listed fitment and connector configuration.
