ABSTRACT:
An interlock mechanism is mounted proximate a door track for a vehicle having a sliding door and a fuel filler door on the same side of the vehicle. The mechanism has a pair of interacting links which prevent either door from opening when the other is already open. A first link is connected to the filler door and obstructs movement of a second link in the door track, and thus the sliding door, when the filler door is open. When the sliding door is open, the second link obstructs movement of the first link which in turn prevents the filler door from opening.
