The module comprises a core member having two metal plates thereby to receive the hardware components. The hardware components which are attached to the module are an exterior door release, an interior door release, a latch mechanism, a window regulator mechanism, and a trim panel. Thus, the module is adapted to permit pre-assembly and pre-testing of major sub-assemblies.
