Abstract
A lock actuator assembly for a locking mechanism of a vehicle door permits either manual or power actuation thereof. The lock actuator assembly includes a housing having a pair of brackets attached thereto, an actuator slidably secured within the housing, and a solenoid disposed below the housing and operatively attached to the actuator. The solenoid is operable to move the actuator between a locked position in which the locking mechanism is locked, and an unlocked position in which the locking mechanism is unlocked. The housing of the lock actuator assembly defines a first plane and the actuator defines a second plane which is substantially parallel to the first plane.
