Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

The Vemo V10-73-0010 Switch is engineered for straightforward installation. The process typically involves:

1. Removal of the Existing Actuator: Detach the old switch by loosening the mounting bolts and disconnecting the electrical connector.
2. Alignment: Position the new switch in the rear‑door cavity, ensuring that the mounting holes align with the existing brackets.
3. Securing: Tighten the bolts to the specified torque (typically 10 Nm) to guarantee a secure fit.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the actuator to the vehicle’s central locking harness, matching polarity and connector type.
5. Functional Test: Activate the central lock system to confirm that the door locks and unlocks smoothly.

All steps should be performed with the vehicle’s ignition off and the battery disconnected to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
