My car has 21K on it so I dont expect the motor is worn out..
I opened the hatch Monday and it wouldnt close. motor does not kick on. nothing else seems affected so I dont think it is a fuse. no one has slammed it. I cleaned the contacts but no luck. motor does not kick on at all. any ideas?

 

Is the assembly stuck in the up or down position?
I'm just wondering---if it's down, have you tried to flip the limit switch manually?

 

How to flip the switch manually?
basically when I bring it down it doesnt latch it just doesnt go down all the way...

 

You mean it does latch, it just doesn't pull it down?

 

It doesnt latch. it doesnt go down far enuf

 

Just wanted to let ya know that its fixed.. Just used the little button next to the latch and brought the motor up.. then closed the hatch and it pulled it down.

 

I have hatch issue.on my 86T/AM. I do not see where there is a push button. Hatch became open and motor will not pull down, any help?

 

It switch is black.. looks like part of the latch.. just feel around there.. it is there... I had to take off the trim to see it well.. it does not look like a switch... more like a lever...solid black and is vertical. but it is right in the lock..part of it..
