Ford Transit Connect Rear Tail Door Lock Latch Cable 2T14-V431A03-AM

Ford Transit Connect Rear Tail Door Lock Latch Cable is a component from the Locks and latches group, designed to control the locking mechanism in the rear of the vehicle body. It is responsible for reliably transferring movement from the handle or actuator to the lock, which has a direct impact on ease of use and cargo security. This is a practical solution for users who want to restore the proper operation of the rear lock without interfering with other components.

Purpose and function of the rear door lock cable

Ford Transit Connect Rear Tail Door Lock Latch Cable operates in the rear zone of the vehicle body, where it is responsible for the mechanical connection between the control element and the lock. A properly selected cable ensures:

• consistent operation of the handle and lock in the rear of the vehicle,
• stable door closing during daily use,
• reduction of play and improper operation of the locking mechanism.

In a commercial vehicle such as the Transit Connect, a functional rear door locking system is important both for protecting transported cargo and for the driver's comfort.

Compatibility and technical parameters

The offered cable belongs to the Locks and latches group and is structurally adapted to the rear of the vehicle body. Thanks to the use of the correct length and mounting ends, it works with the factory lock and control elements in the Ford Transit Connect. The product has assigned interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version.

The element was designed as part of the original locking system, which helps maintain the factory operating characteristics of the mechanism – without the need to modify mounts or cable routing.

Performance characteristics and advantages of use

Replacing a worn lock cable with a functional element allows for the elimination of typical operational symptoms, such as difficult opening, lack of lock response, or the need to use more force when operating the door. The use of a properly selected cable translates into:

• more predictable operation of the lock mechanism in the rear of the vehicle,
• reduced risk of accidental door failure to close,
• maintaining the functionality of the cargo space at a level close to factory standards.

This solution is particularly important in vehicles used for delivery purposes, where the rear doors are intensively used and exposed to accelerated wear of control elements.

Condition of the element and economic aspect

The offered cable comes from a group of used parts, which allows for reducing repair costs while maintaining compatibility with the original locking system. For many users of fleet vehicles or older models, this is a reasonable compromise between functionality and the budget allocated for service.
