Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition DLA2070 is a tailgate lock actuator motor assembly used to control tailgate latch movement on select 2020-2023 Kia Seltos vehicles without a power liftgate. This part number DLA2070 is built with a single female connector, oval connector shape, and latch included in the assembly, making it a practical replacement when the original rear gate lock actuator no longer operates correctly. Standard Ignition DLA2070 is also cross-referenced with Kia 81800Q5000 for the same application.

Compatible With 2020-2023 Kia Seltos, N/A. Use this tailgate lock actuator motor when the rear latch does not respond properly, the tailgate will not secure, or the locking mechanism shows electrical or mechanical failure. The Kia Seltos fitment listed here is for vehicles without a power liftgate, so confirm your vehicle configuration before ordering.

What It Helps Fix

  • Rear hatch latch sticks or binds during operation
  • Intermittent tailgate release function
  • Electrical failure at the rear latch actuator
  • Broken or worn actuator motor inside the tailgate assembly

Inspect the latch, wiring, and surrounding trim for damage before replacing the actuator to avoid repeat failure.
