Abstract: A device for identifying a position of a grip member of a vehicle handle includes a cam rotatably movable inside the device around an axis fixed relative to the grip member. The cam is rotatably secured to a lever, which is rotatably movable around the axis, so that an angular position of the cam around the axis is directly related to an angular position of the lever around the axis. The angular position of the lever is also mechanically related to the position of the grip member. The device includes at least one switch secured to the handle and complementary to a member of the cam, so that the at least one switch is configured to be in electrical contact with the member of the cam when the angular position of the cam is equal to one or more predetermined angular positions around the axis.
