trunk latch pull down motor
i have an 87 Pontiac firebird base coupe and there is an electric motor that raises and lowers the rear hatch to shut it tight. last weekend i opened the hatch and the latch didnt raise back up. so now i cant latch my hatch and it flops up and down. how do i fix this. i know there is power back there because the light comes on.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
The light on my 88 is powered by an orange wire, and the hatch pulldown is powered by a separate red/white wire. I don't know if this is stock or not since I just recently bought the car. I would start by verifying you have power to the pulldown with a meter or test light. Also, there is a little plastic sensor switch in front of where the hatch catches the latching mechanism. Using a screwdriver or something, I just use my finger, depress the switch to see if the motor turns on. If so, let it run until it bottoms out (you should hear a click). Then when you remove your finger it should raise again. When it is depressed, it thinks the trunk is closed and lowers the pulldown. When it is not depressed, it thinks the hatch is open and raises the pulldown. Maybe it stopped in the middle of the cycle.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
a you talking about the petal plate on top of the rear interior panel that connects with the switch on the hatch when it closes and it stuck at the bottom of the cycle didn't raise at all. is there any way of taking it apart and maybe turning it by hand to at least get it to latch

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
My hatch pulldown didn't work when I got the car and the previous owner had just loosened the bolts and slid the entire latching mechanism to a height where he could just slam the hatch and it would catch. I don't recommend this as slamming the hatch can cause all kinds of damage to the pulldown mechanism. I just went to the junkyard and pulled a hatch pulldown motor out of a 73 Cadillac and swapped it with mine. The motors were used by all GM cars from 77 to 91 I believe. I pulled one from a 93 and it was an exact match so I bought it and it works fine.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
That sounds like a good idea. Lonsal is the master when it comes to the hatch pulldown He is a moderator here and owner of Top Down Solutions. Here is a link to a repair guide which he wrote.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
When you say you jumped power directly to the motor from the light, do you mean you put power to the blue wire or did you disassemble the mechanism and put power directly to the motor? If you just put power to the blue wire, that doesn't mean that the motor is def shot. There are other parts that it could be (reverse switch, relay, etc.). The only way to be positive it's the motor is to remove the motor and housing and apply power and ground to the motor tabs. The motor is reversible so it does not matter which tang you apply power to and which tang you apply ground to.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
I've had some customers swear they are pressing on the striker-sensing switch and instead were pressing on the top of the rod that holds the spring for the little nylon piece that centers the hatch hook. The actual switch part of the striker-sensing switch is a small paddle sticking out of the plastic body. The body of the switch is attached to the latch assy by a single hex-head screw. There are wires coming out of it, orange, black & white.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
i disassembled the latch assembly and puled the black box out which i think is the reversing switch then i put the wire ends from the light directly to the copper tabs.and nothing happened. iv been wrestling the exhaust manifold all week when im done with that i'll go to this.ill raise it up enough to slam it shut for now. and eventually replace it.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
i finally got back to playing with this part. i raised it manually so that i could slam it shut. but my hatch was really miss aligned and the hook on the hatch would not go in the latch. witch is strange cuz it shut fine a month ago before the latch stopped working. the hatch stuck a good inch past the rear fenders so i shoved it as far forward as i could. its still a good 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch past it. and the hook still wouldn't go into latch. then i realized the hook leans toward the back of the car. so i figured i could spin it around so it leaned toward the front of the car. but for some reason one of the bolts wouldn't line up. so tomorrow i'll put it in the drill press and expand that bolt hole. do they all lean back like that or is mine bent?

Don't modify the hatch hook to make it fit the latch. Instead follow the Tech Article that another fellow thirdgenner created:

"*** CAUTION *** HAZARDOUS STEP" way to many times. giving the way my lucks been going lately i would probably end up with a broken rear hatch glass. and i would rather buy a new hatch hook than a new rear window

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
OK, so you'll fix it by applying a bandaid fix rather than correctly fixing the problem. If you're not up to doing the repair you can always take the car to a body shop and have them do it properly. With your fix, yes it might work, but the spoiler will still stick out too far and look bad. It all boils down to whether you want to fix the actual problem or cure the symptom of the problem.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
I can't answer since I haven't used that bandaid myself. There are two areas that can cause the spoiler portion of the hatch to be too far to the rear. The hatch hinge bolts or the metal portion rear of the glass. Remember to prop up the hatch and remove the hatch struts when doing the adjustment. It is the pressure of the gas struts that forces it to the rear if there is any looseness.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
I had a similar problem. Do yourself a favor, and order a set of sliders and a gear nut from TDS. Take it all apart, clean and lube it and put in the new parts and it will work like new. The sliders and gear nut are cheap and a tube of white lithium grease for a couple bucks.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
my hatch hook still wouldn't line up with the hatch tho
that's why i thought to do the "bandaid" of spinning the hook around. i just did that a few minutes ago and it worked im finally able to lock my hatch again. in a couple of months when i get some more money i'll get the hatch realigned then i'll start looking thru the junk yards for a new latch and hook. but at least i can slam it shut for now.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
im not sure what size bit it was it was already in the drill press. it was just slightly larger than the stock bolt holes. i took the hook off and spun it around and figured out which hole was stopping me and drilled that one out and then just stretched it out till it would slide on the bolts easy. then just bolted it up and slammed the hatch shut. i know it not a proper fix but its just temporary till i get the money to do it rite.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
I'm glad I looked at this post and happy to see a link to "Top-Down Solutions" for the Nylon Guides and Gear nut.
This was not the first post I found and in my haste to get the assembly apart and diagnosed I failed to do a few things that "Lonsal" high lighted in red such as "not taking cover off motor" and marking position of mounting bracket that motor travels on.
So as soon as I get the Guides and gear nut my plan is to 1. Put cover back on motor with care to the brushes and 2. Loosely bolt bracket and motor assembly to body, activate the motor long enough to reach its down position and then unplug harness for safety. 3. I'm thinking at this point I should be able to pull motor and bracket up to the latch and tighten bolts leaving everything in a funtional position, am I wrong?

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
BUMP
I am having issues with min, Just bought the car, Replaced the pull down motor, And the relay. The Red/White wire is hot. The latch is in the raised position, i cannot get it to respond, depressing the little spring loaded paddle switch does nothing...not certain what to check, or how to resolve. Please assist.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Thank you Lon. After you call...Found the issue, Burnt contact in the reversing switch. Now, i am in a pickle, Adjusted the "overbite" after i repaired the pulldown, only to remember i have no key. The Button on the dash doesnt pop the hatch....

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Did you remember to install the ground wire that goes from the 10mm screw (that mounts the hatch release solenoid) to the body ground location below the pull-down unit? If that ground wire is not present the solenoid will not fire because it is electrically isolated from ground by the guides.
Next try engaging the parking brake and try the hatch release switch again.
If you did not install the rear hatch surround trim panel you can crawl thru and remove the solenoid. You will see a square shaped hole on the left side of the latch. Move the lever inside to the left to release the latch.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Lon -
I may have to call you as well and get the directions on testing the reversing switch. My son slammed the trunk lid awhile back. I replaced the pull down motor and a blown fuse. It didn't do anything, then a week later in the middle of the night it actuated and pulled the lid down (possessed!). We pushed the button inside and the trunk raised, wouldn't let go of the latch and powered back down. Then used the key and it raised and won't do anything again.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Not so soon. now the pull down rails are hanging up when I close the back window. It pulls down so far then starts a grinding noise.
I am using new plastic guides for the mechanism. But they seem to get hung up. I remember the original stock ones would be loose enough that if you removed the motor, the mechanism would slowly slide down and fall out. I had to support the mechanism while servicing the motor.
So..I have 2 issues, one the new plastic rails although fit fine must be too tight and are hanging up. So how to resolve:
1. What grease should I use for the plastic rails? (currently using white lithium grease)
2. should I sand down the plastic rails to make then less tight?? (I read somewhere I should)

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Yes sand the guides until the latch portion slides easily.. start with installing either the outer 2 or inner 2 only. No grease on the track. Manually slide the latch portion up and down 10x. Then disassemble. Inspect the guides. Sand off any dark lines (which indicate the contact point). Continue doing this until ther is no more dark lines formed and it slides easily. Now install just the other 2 and do the same. Once you have all 4 sanded and sliding easily then assemble with grease. White lithium grease is fine, having roughly the same buttery consistency as the original grease. I use and supply synthetic marine grease instead with my kits because it tends to not dry out as quickly.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Ok so I took this whole thing apart...AGAIN for the 20th time. I sanded down the plastic rails and got mechanism to slide cleanly even before the grease. There is an upper switch next to the catch lock for the metal loop on the trunk lid. That switch is wired to the motor and when depressed, the whole unit pulls the trunk lid down, when released the trunk whole unit rises up. That is working perfectly.
However...
When I actually lower the trunk lid, it pulls down then stops and grinds. the toggle switch does not travel far down enough to flip it up and cause the motor to shut off. if I unlock it with the key the motor shuts off, but, I have to press the upper switch next to the catch lock so it will travel down just enough to trip the toggle switch up and stopping the motor.
Now mind you this WAS working, not very long, perfectly. The issue I believed was as stated, the plastic rails were to tight and they were getting hung up. By sanding them down it would free them from binding up, which it did and I thought would fix the issue. Although this needed to be done, it did not fix the original issue.
For some odd reason, the deck cannot be pulled down enough by the motor so as to stop the motor from running. About 3/8" or so more travel is needed, maybe less. I am at a loss, this is unbelievable.
The only fix I see is somehow bending the metal tab at the lower end up so the toggle switch is tripped sooner, hence, shutting off the motor.
Any ideas otherwise? This is very frustrating.

Re: trunk latch pull down motor
Never mind. I must have a mental block haha. So I thought, I need to get the loop on the trunk lid to drop down...AHH washers! As I started putting them in, I looked at the WHOLE unit, not just were the plastic slides are. 3 bolts hold the entire unit to the body of the car. DOPE I AM. its ADJUSTABLE! Of course, and the entire unit was pushed all the way down. I bought it all the up, tightened the 3 larges bolts... FIXED.
Dumb@$$ I am. Thanks everyone again!
