Electrical vehicle latch having a fluid tight electrical housing

A method of making an electrical latch assembly for a door of a vehicle, said method comprising:

• providing an electrical housing defining an open interior and an opening into the open interior;
• positioning a printed circuit board in the open interior, the printed circuit board including a first surface with at least one electrical terminal positioned thereon and a second surface;
• extending the electrical terminal through the opening of the electrical housing;
• securing a latch housing to the electrical housing, the latch housing defining a motor seat;
• positioning an electric motor on the motor seat;
• electrically connecting the electrical terminal and the electric motor to establish an electrical connection between the printed circuit board and the electric motor;
• positioning a first seal about the opening and between the electrical housing and the second surface of the printed circuit board to establish a fluid-tight seal between the electrical housing and the second surface of the printed circuit board;
• and
• positioning a second seal about the motor seat and between the latch housing and the electrical housing to establish a fluid-tight seal between the latch housing and the electrical housing.
