ABSTRACT:
An electrically actuated rear deck lock mechanism which may be locked or unlocked in a conventional manner. The lock mechanism latches the deck lid with a latch member engaging a lock bar after closure of the deck lid. An electric actuator moves the latch to a locked position. Once in the locked position, the electrical actuator mechanism is free of the mechanical forces applied to the latch member such that any forces experienced during normal operation of the vehicle are absorbed through the mechanical interaction of the latch with the lock bar without undue effect on the electrical actuator. The latch member can also be manually moved to a locked position without interfering with the electrical locking position of the mechanism. A bypass cam and a release member are provided which permit the rear deck locking mechanism to be manually locked and unlocked in the event of a power failure or a failure of the electric actuator.
