Abstract
Abstract A combination power window and power door locking device for use in an automotive vehicle door. The locking of the door is accomplished by rotatably mounting the common motor in the door and resiliently urged toward an angular stop position. After the window pane is in one of its end positions, continued application of external power to the motor rotates the motor away from the stop position to activate the door locking mechanism.
