A pushbutton controlled locking arrangement for a door or other entry, as a trunk lid, to a vehicle which selectively activates circuitry for achieving unlocking upon the engagement of a preselected combination of pushbuttons presented in panel form. The circuitry includes conventional components, such as single-pole and double-pole double-throw relays, electrolytic capacitors, a variable resistor, pushbutton type switches and silicon diodes, all arranged for convenient operation without the necessity of a key. The aforesaid pushbutton panel is typically mounted on the vehicle body proximate the door handle area and affords reliable usage through weatherproof pushbutton switch assemblies. The system also makes provision for illuminating the pushbutton control panel, the initiation of an optional alarm signaling arrangement in the event of unwanted attempted entry and, as well, overriding control when two pushbuttons are inadvertently depressed at the same time.

A vehicle entry locking arrangement comprising circuitry including a plurality of manually operated pushbutton switches, electromechanical relays arranged is a sequentially responsive relationship to a preselected combination of said pushbutton switches controlling unlocking of an entry to said vehicle, an electromechanical enabling relay energized in response to one of said pushbutton switches of said preselected combination and de-energized in response to a subsequently activated pushbutton switch of said preselected combination, where said electromechanical enabling relay serves to activate an independent alarm system, and where said pushbutton switches are each defined by switching elements arranged within a housing in a weatherproof relationship.
