Front Left Door Lock for Tesla Model Y/Model 3 (-2023) | 1500672-91-B
1. Core Function Description
As a key component of the door locking system for Tesla Model Y and Model 3 (up to 2023), this premium brand-grade front left door lock is engineered to match original factory specifications, with core functions focusing on "locking security + electronic integration + durability":
Secure Locking & Unlocking: Equipped with a reinforced cross-locking mechanism, it ensures reliable locking of the front left door, preventing accidental opening while driving or parked. The precise trigger system enables smooth unlocking via the key fob, interior button, or Tesla mobile app.
Integration with Vehicle Electronics: It communicates in real-time with the vehicle’s Body Control Module (BCM) to transmit status signals (locked/unlocked), triggering functions such as flashing turn signals during unlocking or disabling the anti-start security system when locked.
Weather & Wear Resistance: Constructed with durable materials, it protects internal mechanisms from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures, ensuring long service life even in harsh environmental conditions.
