A motor vehicle door lock arrangement with a lock latch, a detent pawl and an electrical detent pawl drive with control switches for a triggering detent pawl drive, a power supply connection and a lock mechanism with at least one mechanical opening lever which acts on the detent pawl. In the normal case, the detent pawl can be actuated only by the electrical detent pawl drive (1), and in an emergency, by the mechanical opening lever (2). The motor vehicle door lock arrangement provides the electrical detent pawl drive (1) with a mechanical energy storage device (15) which is tensioned in the rest position of the detent pawl drive (1) and which keeps the opening lever (2) prepared for mechanical activation should the power supply fail or some other malfunction of electrical detent pawl drive occur.
