Abstract
A vehicle closure has a power operated compartment latch that includes a stop lever and an eccentric roller on an electric motor driven wheel. The stop lever is moved to a by-pass position automatically cocking the compartment latch when the compartment latch is latched. The eccentric roller then by-passes the stop lever and unlatches the compartment latch when the electric motor is energized. The stop lever is moved to a stop position when the compartment latch is unlatched to automatically reset the compartment latch.
