I took apart my hatch motor and assembly to try and figure out why it wouldnt pull down my hatch when I close it, I couldnt find anything, so I put it back together in the down position so it would just stay down until I could fix it properly. When I hooked it all back up and grounded it, the motor pushed it back up, so I thought I accidentally fixed it. Then I closed the Hatch and the motor didnt do anything, so I am pretty sure there is a switch somewhere in there that I need to fix so that it knows when my hatch is closed, has anybody done this before or knows how I can fix it? Thanks.

 

There's a small lever in the top that gets pushed when the hatch is closed - activates a relay in the rear under the plastic.

There's also a small circular button with a leg on it, that turns as the hatch is opening/closing - it has a spring that often breaks or flies off.

Maybe that helps.
