Abstract
The invention relates to a motor-vehicle lock, in particular a motor-vehicle door lock. In order to provide a reliable assembly and a reliable operation for said lock, the drive housing 6 of the servo closing function 2 is designed to function simultaneously as a Bowden cable bearing 8 and as a receiving chamber or shaft 14 for the micro-switch 15. The drive housing 6 has a robust, compact design and allows the micro-switch 15 to be sited securely in the drive housing 6 always in the same place. This also remains the case as the securing cover 10 is fixed in the drive housing 6 by means of a clip 11.

- a motor vehicle door latch with a catch, pawl and a closure aid acting on the catch in the form of a drive with an actuator, drive shaft, Bowden cable and a sensor assigned and connected to a drive housing, whereby the catch can be moved out of a pre-ratchet position in a motorized manner via the drive into a main ratchet position until the sensor responds,
- wherein the sensor is integrated into the drive housing with which a Bowden cable thrust bearing is also connected, and
- a lid with a clip interlocking with a component in the drive housing and against the shaft, thereby securing the sensor in the drive housing.
