My hatch pull down randomly stopped working. Won't respond to the switch or anything... Luckily, it stopped working in the all the down sealed position so i can still unlock it with the key and put a little force into it and itll close right. The fuse is good, what about the relay?? Wheres it located??..... It worked fine before, my buddy opened it, close it, and right before it sealed it stopped. And i unplugged the fuse and check it. Put it back in and i guess it finished going down when i slammed it closed. then stopped all together. No response from the switch. And when its open, the cargo light dont come on....

 

 

I finally had the time to check it. Did nothing to check the volts... Thanks tho! Im not good with stuff like that. Haha. BUT! when i unpluged the 5 prong relay in the cargo area, it started working. With no relay!..... Idk. But. Nw my switch, u gotta press and hold it til it reaches the top and opens.... The relay at the switch is bad??? Idk. Wut do u think??

 

Sorry about the bad grammer/spelling. Im on my iphone and i type fast to get it done quick. Abbr some stuff. =}

 

 

I've had the same thing happen with my 92 RS... it will go to the 'down' position and stop working after that.. I unplugged it both times and waited a couple days... the first time I just plugged it back up and it started working again.. the last time I pulled the motor assembly and tore it all down.. put it all back together and it started working..
I wished I had an answer to the reason that it did start to work again.. not sure there but thinking that the 'limiter switch' might have something to do with that??

 

well, it was working fine before. not a problem. then one day it just stopped. the wiring in the car has been very well taken care of, other than the radiator fan. and it was very professionally "fixed" or changed. which ever u wanna put. haha. the radio harness was even completely still intact. its done the stop working before and then started working again. i had a stick that'd hold it and it broke and got jammed a while back. the hatch tried to close but smashed it. could open or finish closing it. we had to lift one side to get it out and then i unplugged the fuse and it plugged it back and it started working. like it reset the system. when i get the extra cash i'm gonna buy a new relay for each spot and see how it does. i'm thinking the release switch relay may have went bad.

 

it's like it just resets the system. have u changed all relays?? theres one on the left of the hatch motor. looks like a GIANT fuse with 5 prongs. then theres the release switch relay located under the console by the switch. at least that's what i've been told. i'm broke atm but when i get the extra cash or i can make it to pullapart i'll get some more.
