Rear Left Door Lock for Tesla Model 3/Model Y (-2023) | 1500674-91-B
1. Core Function Description
As a vital component of the rear door security system for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y (up to 2023), this premium brand-grade rear left door lock is engineered to match original factory specifications, with core functions focusing on "secure locking + seamless integration + rugged durability":
Reliable Locking & Unlocking: Equipped with a reinforced cam-lock mechanism, it ensures the rear left door stays securely locked during driving, parking, or rough terrain. It supports smooth operation via Tesla’s key fob, interior switches, or mobile app, with a rapid response time (≤0.6 seconds) for convenient access.
Vehicle System Integration: Communicates in real-time with the Body Control Module (BCM) to transmit lock status, enabling coordinated functions such as activating the vehicle’s anti-theft system when locked or triggering "door ajar" alerts on the dashboard if not fully closed. This integration maintains consistent security and user feedback.
Environmental & Wear Resistance: Built with corrosion-resistant materials and sealed components, it withstands water, dust, and extreme temperatures. This protects internal gears and electronics from damage, ensuring long-term performance in rain, snow, or high-humidity environments.

Insecure Locking: The door can be opened from the outside or inside despite being "locked," indicating a failed locking pin or weak spring.
4. Advantages of Premium Brand-Grade (vs. Generic Products)
Advantage Dimension
This Premium Brand-Grade Lock
Generic Products
Material Durability
304 stainless steel housing and hardened steel components; resistant to rust and wear.
Low-grade steel or plastic; prone to corrosion and breakage within 1-2 years.
System Compatibility
Seamless integration with Tesla’s BCM; no false alerts or system errors.
Often causes dashboard glitches or fails to sync with vehicle security systems.
Operational Reliability
Consistent performance in extreme temperatures; anti-jam design prevents sticking.
Malfunctions in cold/hot weather; high risk of jamming, requiring forced entry.
Longevity
Tested to 80,000+ cycles; designed for extended use.
Fails within 20,000-30,000 cycles; frequent replacements needed.
Power Disconnection: Disconnect the vehicle’s 12V battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts while handling wiring.
Door Panel Removal: Use plastic tools to gently pry off the interior door panel, taking care not to break clips or damage wiring behind it.
Wiring Handling: When disconnecting the old lock’s harness, press the release tab—do not pull wires directly to avoid damaging the vehicle’s electrical system.
Torque Control: Tighten mounting screws to 7±1Nm to secure the lock without warping the housing.
