ABSTRACT:
An lock actuator assembly for a vehicle door permits either manual or power actuation thereof. The assembly includes a housing with an upwardly-facing recess and a hollow passage formed therethrough. The assembly also includes an actuator with an upper portion extending through the housing and into the recess. The actuator is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The assembly may include a solenoid located below the housing and operable to move the actuator. The housing may include side walls on opposite sides of the recess, with portions of the side walls located close to the actuator on both sides thereof, to resist unauthorized acess to the actuator. Selected portions of the housing side walls may extend inwardly into the recess to form blocking bosses which are situated in close proximity to the actuator, to partially block access thereto.
