Sliding Door Latch Lock Actuator with Cable for RAM ProMaster

In this review of the Sliding Door Latch Lock Actuator with Cable, the bottom line is simple: it is a straightforward, durable replacement for a worn or failed rear sliding door actuator on 2014-2018 Ram ProMaster cargo vans. The reviewer found the part to be an exact dimensional match for the OEM 68226180AD family of numbers, making it a practical choice for owners or mechanics who need a like-for-like repair. The kit addresses the common failure point of factory actuators and comes with a 1-year warranty, which adds confidence for anyone doing a DIY replacement or routine van maintenance.

Key Features

• OEM compatibility: Designed to match the genuine OEM dimensions and referenced numbers so the actuator fits the rear right sliding door without modification.
• Durable construction: Made from quality materials intended to withstand daily use and the demanding conditions of commercial cargo vans.
• Direct replacement: Replaces several OEM references including 68226180AD, 68226180AC and 68169436AA to simplify sourcing the correct part.
• Easy installation: The unit is intended for owners with reasonable DIY mechanical skills and installs in place of the original latch actuator and cable assembly.
• Warranty support: A 1-year warranty and seller support by email provide a safety net if any issues arise after installation.

Who It's For

This actuator is best for owners, fleet managers, and independent mechanics working on 2014-2018 Ram ProMaster Cargo Van 1500, 2500, or 3500 models who need a direct replacement for a failed rear right passenger sliding door latch. It suits those who prefer a part that matches OEM dimensions and can be installed without special fabrication.

It is not aimed at vehicle owners who need an upgraded or electronic aftermarket solution beyond the factory design; customers seeking a different latch function or cosmetic redesign should look elsewhere.
