ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door locking assembly includes a housing, a latch member and a pawl member provided in the housing for holding a vehicle door in a closed position, a manually actuatable door opening member provided on the housing for rotational movement, and a rotatably mounted lift lever which is operatively connected with the latch member. A release lever is mounted on the door opening member for rotational movement between a first position in which the release lever engages the lift lever so that rotational movement of the door opening member is transmitted through the release lever and the lift lever to the pawl member to release the door and a second position in which the release lever cannot engage the lift lever so that rotational movement of the door opening member is not transmitted to the lift lever. A locking lever is mounted for rotational movement on the housing between a locking position and an unlocking position, and is operatively connected with the release lever so that when the locking lever is moved to the locking position the release lever is moved to the second position in which the release lever cannot be engaged with the lift lever and so that when the locking lever is moved to the unlocking position the release lever is moved to the first position in which the release lever can be engaged with the lift lever upon operation of the door opening member.
