Abstract
A motor vehicle door lock which includes an essentially U-shaped housing, a rotary catch, a locking pawl, and a locking button with the rotary catch being arranged in a plane parallel to the front surface ad cover plate and the locking pawl being rotatably supported beneath the rotary catch. To determine whether a door is properly locked, the locking pawl includes an actuating lever arm which projects beyond a bearing bolt with a microswitch, arranged between the rotary catch and the cover plate, including an actuating spring that selectively cooperates with the actuating lever arm in dependence upon the condition of the door lock.
