The 1500604 - CN - B is a rear trunk lid tailgate latch suitable for 2021 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, which is an important component to ensure the normal use of the vehicle's trunk. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Function and Working Principle: The main function of this latch is to realize the locking and unlocking of the rear trunk lid, ensuring the safety of the items in the trunk during driving and providing convenient access for users. When the trunk is closed, the internal mechanical structure of the latch will be automatically locked to prevent the trunk lid from accidentally opening. When the user uses the key fob, mobile app, or the release button inside the vehicle to open the trunk, the electrical signal will trigger the actuator in the latch to unlock the latch, allowing the trunk lid to be opened smoothly.
- Installation Method: According to the Tesla official service manual, when installing this latch, first remove the trunk lid trim, then disconnect the electrical connector of the latch, and use a 10 - mm socket to remove the bolts fixing the latch to the trunk lid to remove the old latch. When installing the new latch, first install the latch in place and loosely install the fixing bolts, then connect the electrical connector, close the trunk to check the gap and flatness, and finally open the trunk and tighten the bolts to a torque of 8 N·m (5.9 lbs - ft).
- Purchase Information: This latch can be purchased from Tesla - authorized service centers, some auto parts stores, or online shopping platforms. For example, on some domestic e - commerce platforms, the price of similar original - factory latches is about 210 yuan. However, the specific price may vary depending on the sales channel and region.
