An electrical connector system for electrically coupling a movable component to a fixed component includes a first connector including a first body and a first door. The first door is movable to expose a first electrical connector disposed within the first body. The electrical connector system includes a second connector including a second body and a second door. The second door is movable to expose a second electrical connector disposed within the second body. The electrical connector system includes an actuator coupled to the second electrical connector. The actuator is configured to move the second electrical connector to couple the second electrical connector to the first electrical connector.

Electrical connector systems and methods for movable component

A selectively pivotable mid-gate for a vehicle includes a first mid-gate member pivotally mounted to the vehicle through a hinge member and a second mid-gate member is pivotally mounted to the vehicle and the first mid-gate member through the hinge member. A latch system is operatively connected to the first mid-gate member and the second mid-gate member. The latch system is selectively operable to release the first mid-gate member to rotate in a first direction and to release the first mid-gate member and the second mid-gate member to rotate in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
