BMW X5 (E53) or X3 (E83) Door Lock Repair Kit
Front Door Locks (Driver or Passenger)
1 = Retaining Clip -
This holds all the lock components together
2 = Lock Shaft - This
shaft has a "cross" shaped top. This cross fits into the
actuator within the door and signals the vehicle to unlock the door
when turned.
3 =
Spring - This gives
tension to the lock when turned and allows the lock to return to the
center position.
4 = U-Shaped Middle Plate
- This section joins the lock mechanism to the spring and shaft. Two
slightly different pieces are provided (driver-D1, passenger-D2).
THIS PIECE IS THE MOST COMMON TO FAIL
5 = Base plate - This is
the bottom piece that functions to keep all the components in place.
This piece does not rotate.
