wiring diagram for electric hatch pull down?

i just rebuilt my hatch motor assembly and now it wont pull down, it grab the hatch when you go to close it but it wont pull it down to close. i know i have one wire not hooked up but cant find where it goes, i was hoping to find a diagram so i could check over everything.

Just tap this on your typograph and magically the diagram will appear on your CRT machine.

Re: DOODLEGRAM !

He didn't say his solenoid hatch release wasn't working. There is in electrical schematic for the hatch pull-down motor. The extra wire you mention is a white wire that was not used for your model year. It was used on 1990-92 to trun on/off the hatch light when the hatch opens or closes.

Unplug your red/white stripe wire from the blue wire. Check that you have +12v at the red/white stripe wire. If the power checks good, then most likely the striker-sensing switch is bad. That switch starts the up or down cycle. The reversing switch ends the cycle.

The man who posted right before you, lonsal, has a website with everything you'll need to solve your problem. For future reference, his website is linked to this site, in the right margin with the other links. But for now, here it is:
