Maintaining the structural integrity and security of engine and gearbox assemblies requires attention to even the smallest fasteners. As a specialist in high-quality Foton truck parts, we present the Tumin Cover Plate Locking Button, designated by the precise OEM number 1B24953104043. This specialized component serves as a critical securing device, often used to lock inspection covers, timing gear covers, or other access plates on FOTON engines and transmissions. The reliable function of part 1B24953104043 prevents cover plate loosening due to vibration, ensuring a tight seal against oil leaks and contamination ingress.

The Tumin Cover Plate Locking Button, part number 1B24953104043, is a specialized fastener designed for a positive locking mechanism. Its primary role is to secure a cover or plate in place after it has been positioned and initially fastened, often by other bolts or clips.
It acts as a secondary safety device, preventing the accidental or vibration-induced rotation or dislodgement of the primary fasteners. This is particularly crucial on engine components where oil pressure is present, as a loose cover can lead to catastrophic leaks and engine damage.
The component is commonly found on the timing gear cover, flywheel housing inspection plate, or oil pump cover in various FOTON diesel engines. Its specific application ensures that critical internal components remain protected from dust, moisture, and debris.
The 1B24953104043 locking button typically features a spring-loaded plunger or a cam-lock design. When the cover plate is correctly positioned, the button is pressed or rotated, causing an internal mechanism to engage with a corresponding slot or notch on the cover or adjacent housing.
This engagement physically prevents the cover from moving. The design often includes a positive tactile or audible “click” to confirm secure locking. To release, the button is simply pulled or turned in the opposite direction, retracting the locking pin and allowing the cover to be removed.
The compact and robust design of this part ensures it does not interfere with other components and can be operated even in tight spaces within the engine compartment.
A missing or faulty locking button, part number 1B24953104043, can lead to operational issues. The most immediate risk is the cover plate coming loose, which can result in oil leakage, contamination of internal components, and loss of engine oil pressure.
In the case of timing gear covers, a loose cover can allow timing misalignment due to foreign object intrusion, leading to severe engine damage. Regular inspection of this and other fasteners during service intervals is a simple yet effective preventive measure.
When performing repairs that involve removing a cover secured by this button, it is imperative to inspect the condition of the button itself. If it shows signs of wear, corrosion, or loss of spring tension, it should be replaced with a new genuine part to ensure continued reliability.

Replacing the locking button 1B24953104043 is generally straightforward but requires care. The area around the button should be cleaned of dirt and grease to ensure proper engagement.
If the button is a press-fit design, the new part can often be pushed into its housing until it clicks into place. For threaded types, it should be screwed in to the specified torque, if any. It is crucial to test the locking mechanism after installation.
Ensure the corresponding notch or slot on the cover plate is clean and undamaged. Operate the button several times to confirm it engages and releases smoothly. Never force the button if it does not align correctly, as this may indicate an improperly seated cover plate.
Understanding potential problems with the 1B24953104043 button helps in quick diagnosis and repair.
Button Does Not Lock: This is often due to a broken or fatigued internal spring. Dirt or corrosion buildup can also prevent the plunger from extending fully. Cleaning or replacement is required.
Button Sticks in Locked Position: Corrosion or lack of lubrication can cause the mechanism to bind. Applying a small amount of high-temperature grease or penetrating oil may free it, but replacement is better for long-term reliability.
Cover Plate Still Loose: If the button appears functional but the cover is loose, inspect the locking notch on the cover for wear or damage. Both the button (part 1B24953104043) and the cover may need attention.
Preventive Measure: During every major engine service, visually inspect and manually test all locking buttons for positive operation. This simple check can prevent future leaks and failures.
The Tumin Cover Plate Locking Button, OEM 1B24953104043, exemplifies how a small, inexpensive component can be vital for system integrity. It provides a simple yet effective layer of security for critical engine covers.
Using the genuine FOTON part guarantees correct dimensions, material strength, and reliable operation. This ensures your engine remains sealed against contaminants and fluids are contained, contributing to the overall longevity and reliability of your FOTON truck.
