Trunk Lock Motor – Ford / Volvo | OEM 1020538
This electric motor is installed inside the trunk lock mechanism and operates the electrical release of the trunk latch. The motor has 11 teeth and is used in compatible Ford and Volvo trunk lock assemblies. Reference numbers include 1020538, 3L2962, 20278, 3H1246, 30753120, and 3K3866.
A worn or failed trunk lock motor may cause the trunk lock to stop responding to the release command, operate intermittently, or fail to activate the lock mechanism. Replacing the electric motor separately can restore trunk lock operation without replacing the complete lock assembly, provided the mechanical parts of the lock and the other drive components remain in good condition.
Fits OEM #1020538.

Important Fitment Check
Before ordering, compare the 11-tooth design, physical shape, dimensions, and construction of the motor with the part currently installed in your trunk lock. Also compare all available OEM/P/N markings. This listing is for the electric trunk lock motor only, not the complete trunk lock or actuator assembly.
FAQ
What exactly is included in this listing?
This listing includes one electric motor designed to be installed inside the trunk lock mechanism.
How many teeth does the motor have?
The motor has 11 teeth.
Does this listing include the complete trunk lock assembly?
No. This listing includes only the electric motor. The complete trunk lock and actuator assembly are not included.
Which Ford models is this motor compatible with?
Confirmed applications include Ford Focus 2, Ford Mondeo 2, and Ford Mondeo 4.
Which Volvo models is this motor compatible with?
Confirmed applications include Volvo S80, S80L, S60, S60L, S40, XC90, XC80, and XC60.
Which part numbers can be used to check compatibility?
Reference numbers include 1020538, 3L2962, 20278, 3H1246, 30753120, and 3K3866.
Can I replace only the motor instead of the complete trunk lock?
Yes. If the failure is limited to the electric motor and the mechanical parts of the lock and other drive components are still in good condition, the motor can be replaced separately.
What symptoms may indicate a failed trunk lock motor?
The trunk may fail to release, operate only intermittently, stop responding to the release button, or the motor may fail to start when commanded. Unusual motor or actuator noise may also indicate a problem.
How do I confirm fitment before ordering?
Compare the number of teeth, motor design, dimensions, and all available OEM/P/N markings with the original motor. The replacement motor must have the same 11-tooth configuration and matching physical design.
What should be checked before installation?
Inspect the trunk lock mechanism and related drive components to make sure the fault is in the electric motor itself. If the mechanical portion of the lock is damaged or another component has failed, replacing the motor alone may not restore correct operation.
