Latch Actuator: Description

The power cinch/release latch function is made possible by a latch actuator attached to the top of the liftgate latch assembly. This latch actuator contains a small drive gear that meshes with the latch assemblies internal gears to perform the power cinch/release function. The latch actuator is controlled by the power liftgate control module, which controls the cinch function and limits actuator current draw to protect the assembly. Refer to POWER LATCH  for additional information.

The power cinch/release latch actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged the actuator must be replaced. Consult your Mopar™ parts catalog for specific part numbers.
