I just got this car fixed up after my kid "dented" it about 3 years ago. When I got it back from the auto body and inspection station, the rear hatch motor doesn't work. I don't want to sound like an ***, but the fuse is in the fuse block, correct? I checked them and they all are fine, but it doesn't list "rear hatch" in the fuse directory. I can't get the hatch back to fully closed position. It latches , but I can't get it to seat (go down the additional 1"). Any other suggestions?

 

i think there is a fuse in the hatch compartment where the motor and id check the ground wire make sure it still hooked up when you take the back plastic off

 

Try removing your hatch w-strip. Then see if your hatch will close. If it does check the alignment on the quarters. It may have separated. Have you replaced the lift supports lately?

 

I am having the same problem...i have a white wire with a little black plug just hanging down...diagram to see where is belongs?

 

I figured out the problem with the hatch not completely closing. On top of the hatch motor is a switch (relay). If you look down along the side, it comes out with a Phillips and then just pops out. I replaced that and it as good as new.

As far as the additional plug hanging down, I have that too. It seems to do nothing.

I also noticed that the hatch still works correctly even without the cube relay that is mounted on the back wall near the hatch. Why? I have no idea!
