What This Product Does

The actuator converts an electrical release signal into the mechanical movement required to unlock the front lid. It works with the lock assembly and associated electrical connections, allowing access to the front luggage compartment when the release control is used.


Functions

  • Operates the electric front lid release mechanism
  • Provides movement to disengage the front lock
  • Supports normal access to the front luggage compartment
  • Connects with the existing vehicle wiring and locking assembly


Technical Details

  • Part number: 99651112700
  • Product type: electric front lid lock actuator
  • Installation position: front luggage lid
  • Used within the front lid lock and release assembly
  • Diagram reference number: 19
  • Brand: OE Match


Symptoms of Fault

  • No response from the front lid when the release control is operated
  • Intermittent unlocking of the front luggage compartment
  • The lock remains engaged despite an electrical release signal
  • Repeated need to use the emergency release procedure
  • Actuator noise without successful lid release

Similar symptoms may also be caused by the lock, microswitch, wiring, connector or vehicle battery. Inspect the complete mechanism and confirm the fault before replacing the actuator.


Why Replacement Matters

A failed or inconsistent actuator can prevent normal access to the front luggage compartment. Replacing the defective unit restores the intended electric release operation and avoids continued reliance on the emergency opening method. Check the lock mechanism for stiffness, alignment or corrosion during installation, as excess resistance can place additional load on the replacement actuator.


FAQs

  • Does this part release the front luggage lid?
    Yes. It is the electrical actuator used as part of the front lid locking and release mechanism.
  • Does a non-opening lid always indicate actuator failure?
    No. The lock, microswitch, wiring, connector and power supply should also be inspected before diagnosis is confirmed.
  • Should the lock mechanism be checked during fitting?
    Yes. Confirm that the lock moves freely and is correctly aligned before operating the new actuator.
  • How can suitability be confirmed?
    Cross-check part number 99651112700 against the vehicle model, production year and existing component.
