ABSTRACT:
An automobile door latch has a fork-type latch bolt, a detent lever which automatically retains the bolt in a closed-latched position in a manual-closed operating mode of the latch when the door is manually swung to the closed position, a manually actuated release lever which moves the detent lever to a releasing position releasing the bolt in a manual-open operating mode of the latch, and a power operating means which power rotates the bolt from an ajar-latched position to the closed-latched position in a power-closed operating mode of the latch and which moves the detent lever to the releasing position in a power-open operating mode of the latch. The door latch further includes an electrical control which automatically actuates the latch in the power-closed operating mode when the latch bolt achieves the ajar-latched position and which permits random sequencing of the manual and the power operating modes of the latch.
