The present invention is directed to a latch that includes a housing, a pawl pivotally supported by the housing and movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, a spring biasing the pawl toward the unlatched position, and a locking member being rotationally movable about an axis of rotation between an open position and a locked position. The locking member interferes with the movement of the pawl such that the pawl is maintained in the latched position when the pawl is in the latched position and the locking member is in the locked position. The locking member allows the pawl to move to the unlatched position when the locking member is in the open position. The latch may further include a motor housing, a lockplug, a lockplug member, at least one roller switch, at least one gearbox, and a motor.

1. A latch comprising: a housing; a pawl pivotally supported by said housing, said pawl being movable between a latched position and an unlatched position; biasing means biasing said pawl toward said unlatched position; and a locking member rotationally supported relative to said housing,
1. A latch comprising: a housing; a pawl pivotally supported by said housing, said pawl being movable between a latched position and an unlatched position; biasing means biasing said pawl toward said unlatched position; and a locking member rotationally supported relative to said housing, said locking member being rotationally movable about an axis of rotation between an open position and a locked position, said locking member interfering with movement of said pawl such that said pawl is maintained in said latched position when said pawl is in said latched position and said locking member is in said locked position, said locking member allowing said pawl to move to said unlatched position when said locking member is in said open position. 2. The latch according to claim 1, further comprising a lockplug supported for selective rotation relative to said housing, said lockplug being operationally linked to said locking member to selectively cause rotation of said locking member about said axis of rotation.3. The latch according to claim 2, further comprising a lockplug member adapted for receiving said lockplug.4. The latch according to claim 3, further comprising a second biasing means biasing said lockplug and said lockplug member.5. The latch according to claim 4, wherein said second biasing means is a spring.6. The latch according to claim 3 wherein said lockplug member includes a biasing retaining tab protruding outward from one side of said lockplug member.7. The latch according to claim 2, wherein said lockplug is biased towards a central position.8. The latch according to claim 2, wherein said lockplug includes a key slot.9. The latch according to claim 1, wherein said pawl is biased towards said unlatched position.10. The latch according to claim 1, wherein said locking member is biased away from said open position.11. The latch according to claim 1, wherein said biasing means is a spring.12. The latch according to claim 1, further comprising at least one switch, said switch including a cantilever wherein said cantilever makes contact with said locking member and moves about a depressed position and a released position as said locking member rotatably moves about said open position and said locked position.13. The latch according to claim 12, wherein said cantilever terminates in a roller and said roller makes contact with said locking member.14. The latch according to claim 12, wherein said housing includes at least one riser positioned for retaining said at least one switch.15. The latch according to claim 1, wherein said pawl includes a locking member engaging tooth, a first arm, a second arm, and slot defined between said arms, said arms are generally parallel and opposite said locking member engaging tooth, said slot is dimensioned and configured to receive a keeper.
