Mercedes-Benz EQS Central Locking Motor Replacement Parts

The EQS is a fully electric vehicle that uses an electronically controlled central locking system rather than individual central locking motors of the kind found on older Mercedes models — there is no traditional central locking motor fitted to any variant of the EQS. What you may actually be looking for is a door lock actuator, which is the electronic actuator unit built into each door latch assembly that physically moves the locking mechanism. If you are chasing a fault on your EQS, it is worth confirming the exact component with a breaker against your registration, as they can identify the correct door latch or actuator assembly for your vehicle.

The EQS was offered in several trim levels including AMG Line, Business Class, and Executive, but trim level does not affect the door lock actuator fitted — the locking mechanism is not a trim-specific component. You may find cosmetic differences in the door furniture or interior panels surrounding the latch, but the actuator assembly itself should be consistent across trims for the same door position and model year. Always confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

The EQS (V297) launched in 2021 and received a facelift in 2024, so a 2022 car is pre-facelift and a 2024 car sits on or around that boundary. Whether the door latch and actuator assembly carried over unchanged across that facelift is not something that can be confirmed without checking, so route this directly to the breaker who can verify compatibility against both registrations before you commit.

The drivetrain variant — whether single-motor rear-wheel drive like the 450+ or dual-motor four-wheel drive like the 580 4MATIC — does not affect the door lock actuator, as this component is part of the door latch mechanism rather than the drivetrain. All EQS variants share the same V297 body shell, so the actuator you need is determined by the door position (NS front, OS rear, and so on) and the model year, not the powertrain. Confirm the door position and your registration with the breaker to make sure you get the right unit.

Search for 'door lock actuator' or 'door latch actuator' for the EQS, specifying which door you need (nearside front, offside rear, and so on), as breakers will list these by door position. Some listings may appear under 'door latch assembly' since on modern vehicles the actuator and latch are often supplied as a single unit. Giving the breaker your full registration will help them pull the correct part, as the actuator may differ slightly between door positions or model year revisions.
