摘要

The connector for a vehicle electrical accessory such as a door lock (20) or window operating mechanism is located within a cavity between the outer body (12) and interior trim (13) and is in the form of a socket (22A) with contacts (32) inside a housing with a spring-loaded hinged lid (30A), and a plug (22B) that engages with it. When the plug is disconnected there is no possibility of access to the electrical connection through a gap (16) beneath the closed window (14).
