this is the result

 

im pretty sure you need to ground that black one with the metal loop.

 

pic of rear light wires.The brown one is just for my alarm.

 

 

That black wire with a ring terminal (actually it SHOULD have a ring terminal at both ends) goes from the 10mm bolt holding on the hatch release solenoid to the common ground location below the hatch pull-down unit. This provides the ground for the hatch release sloenoid. Otherwise the solenoid would be isolated from ground by the plastic guides of the pull-down unit. The red/white stripe with is positive 12v source for the pull-down unit and attaches to the blue wire with either a large white plastic terminal (86-87) or small black terminal (88-91). The only other connector to deal with it the other black wire with a plastic termination. It attaches to the hatch release solenoid. This all presumes you have good wiring in the hatch pull-down unit itself. I'll e-mail you 6 pages of scans from my 88 HELMS manual.
