一种中继锁执行器由闩锁机制和一系列打开锁定机制的杠杆组成。在较新的车辆上,“执行器”一词有时仅是指实现相同功能的电子触发机制。在较旧的车辆上,该零件仅是机械的。两个系统的概念都是相同的,本指南将涵盖两者。
Both systems will have a cable that runs to the front of the vehicle to a release mechanism normally found on the floorboard of the driver’s side. On the newer vehicles, there will also be an electrical connector running to the actuator and a small motor mounted to it that will activate the mechanism remotely, via the keyfob.
The steps below will outline how to change the trunk lock actuator on your vehicle in the event that它失败。
第2部分,共2部分:断开旧的躯干锁执行器
Materials Needed
- 一种ppropriate replacement trunk lock actuator
- Flashlight
- 一字螺丝刀
- 尖嘴钳
- 菲利普斯头螺丝刀
- 套筒扳手
- Trim panel removal tool
步骤1:访问行李箱并找到行李箱锁执行器。如果您需要替换此部分,那么弹出中继线的一种或多种普通方法无法正常工作。如果您的车辆是在2002年或以后生产的,则可以随时用紧急释放杆手动打开行李箱。
If the key and the manual release on the driver’s side floorboard both fail to open the trunk, and your vehicle was produced prior to 2002, you are going to have to use a flashlight and perform the next step from inside the trunk or cargo area. You will need to fold down the back seats and physically access the area.
步骤2:卸下塑料盖和躯干衬里。躯干锁执行器上的塑料盖将沿边缘略微撬开。这通常可以手工完成,但是如果您遇到麻烦,请使用Flathead螺丝刀或装饰面板拆卸工具。
如果您的车辆有任何车辆,则可能还需要拆除躯干门地毯。使用装饰面板拆卸工具弹出塑料固定夹,然后将地毯放在一旁。
步骤3:卸下执行器电缆和任何电气连接器。The cables will slide out of a locating bracket or guide, and the ball end of the cable will push aside and out of its seat to free the cable from the actuator assembly.
如果有电连接器,请挤压其侧面的标签,然后牢固地从执行器上拉开以将其卸下。
- 提示:如果由于特定的躯干锁定器的设计而无法用手指到达电缆,请使用Needlenose钳子或Flathead螺丝刀将电缆的球端从其座椅上释放出来。
在带有远程躯干执行器的车辆上,您会注意到手动和电子驱动系统合并在一起。
如果您有一个不打开的后备箱,并且正在从后座访问后备箱,请用螺丝刀或针夹子手动触发机构。如果您有一个,请使用紧急释放机构使行李箱打开。在这一点上,您将卸下盖,电缆和任何电气连接器,如步骤2和3中。
步骤4:卸下旧执行器。Use a socket wrench or phillips head screwdriver to remove the bolts holding the actuator to the vehicle.
如果您的车辆上有电子远程执行器,则可能无法访问运行到执行器电动机的电气连接器。如果是这种情况,则在卸下将执行器固定到躯干门上的螺栓后,在将执行器从车辆上卸下时卸下电子连接器。
Part 2 of 2: Connecting the new trunk lock actuator
步骤1:安装新的躯干锁执行器。从电气连接器开始,如果您的执行器配备了一个,请开始重新连接躯干锁定执行器。将连接器滑到执行器上的“选项卡”上,然后轻轻推动直到将其单击到位。
Then line the actuator body up to the mounting holes on the vehicle and use a socket wrench to tighten the mounting bolts.
步骤2:重新连接躯干锁定执行器电缆。为了重新连接执行器电缆,您可以将电缆的球端放入其座椅上,然后将电缆固定器放置在执行器本身的导托架中。您可能需要在弹簧闩锁上手动压向后,以使球端和固定器同时进入适当的位置。
- 笔记: Some vehicles use a metal rod instead of a cable at the point of connection to the actuator. This type of connection is made with a plastic retaining clip that fits over the tip of the rod. The concept is the same as the cable type, but can sometimes be a little trickier to reconnect due to the lack of flexibility.
Step 3: Reinstall the trunk liner and trunk lock actuator cover。通过将连接器排成一列到中继门上的适当孔,然后牢固地按在每个连接器上,直到将其伸入位置,请重新安装躯干衬里。
执行器盖将具有类似的连接器,可将其排成一个执行器中的孔,并以相同的方式捕捉到位。
步骤4:测试您的工作。关闭躯干之前,请测试所有释放机制的功能。为此,请使用螺丝刀并模拟执行器上闩锁机构的关闭。通过这种方式测试每种触发机制。如果所有释放电缆正常工作,则该作业完成。
With just a few tools and a little spare time, you can replace a faulty trunk lock actuator yourself. However, if you would rather have a professional perform the job, you can always contact one of the certified technicians at YourMechanic to come and更换行李箱锁执行器为你。或者,如果您只对维修有疑问,请随时问机械师to receive quick, detailed advice about your issue.
