Abstract
A motor vehicle equipment module includes a lock formed of a bolt received in a housing designed to be mounted on a support part and a striker designed to be mounted on a mobile part along a globally axial direction relative to the support part between an open position and a closed position wherein the bolt cooperates with the striker. When the module is delivered to be installed on the vehicle, the striker and the bolt are linked together by an intermediate plate for temporarily indexing the position of the bolt relative to the position of the striker and to facilitate mounting and fixing of the module on the vehicle.
