    Abstract: A latch assembly includes a ratchet assembly having a primary striker capture position for retaining a striker in a fully closed state, a secondary striker capture position for retaining the striker in a partially closed state, a release position for releasing the striker, and an open position upon removing the striker from the ratchet assembly. A pawl assembly releasably locks the ratchet assembly in the primary striker capture position and in the secondary striker capture position and releases the ratchet assembly to the release position. A hold-open device prevents the pawl assembly from moving from the unlatched position back to latched position while the ratchet assembly is in the release position.

    Abstract: A power actuator for actuating separate mechanically driven members includes a motor and a drive gear configured to be selectively driven in opposite directions. A common gear is configured in operable communication with the drive gear to be selectively driven from a home position in opposite directions in response to movement of the drive gear. A first drive member is attached to the common gear with a first cable extending between the first drive member and one of the mechanically driven members. A second drive member is attached to the common gear with a second cable extending between the second drive member and the other of the mechanically driven members. Movement of the common gear from the home position in one direction moves of one mechanically driven member and movement of the common gear from the home position in an opposite direction moves the other mechanically driven member.
