Abstract
A release mechanism for a vehicle door latch control assembly generally includes a base member, a camming member, and an actuator member. The base member is mounted to a frame of a sliding door. The actuator member is mounted to the base member for movement between first and second positions. The camming member includes first and second camming portions and is pivotally attached to the base member for rotation about a fixed axis in response to displacement of the actuator member. The first camming portion of the camming member is cooperatively arranged with the actuator member such that displacement of the actuator member rotates the camming member about its pivot axis. The second camming portion is operatively arranged with a cable which is connected to a latch control assembly for unlatching the door.
