VW Trunk Lock Actuator Motor - Genuine VW Audi 1M0959781A

Product Information

A trunk lock actuator motor is an electronic component that powers the locking and unlocking mechanism of a vehicle’s trunk. Controlled by the key fob, trunk release button, or central locking system, it converts electrical signals into mechanical movement to open or secure the trunk latch. Over time, the motor or its internal gears and wiring can wear out, leading to access issues.

• Trunk won’t open or lock electronically – unresponsive to key fob or trunk release switch.
• Intermittent operation – actuator works only sometimes or requires multiple attempts.
• Clicking or no sound – clicking noise without movement, or complete silence when the trunk release is activated.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
