Hatch won't go down

I spent about 20min reading search posts but didn't find my issue.

When I close the hatch, it latches but the motor won't pull it down. The motor does not turn on at all. Once in awhile when I am driving around it will engage and close.

I removed everything, took it apart and put it back on the car. It worked for a day then the same issue happened.

Hatch Won’t Close — Not Good In A Submarine

If the unit raises but won’t pull down take a look at the two switches in the unit.

One is moved when the hook presses on it

The other one is a small round one with a spring near it with a tab.

It rotates as the motor operates.

Make sure both function.

The small round one can fall out.


Happy Racing!
