first off,the maintanence manuel dosn't show a wireing diagram on the hatch motor part of the wireing system. I think somthing in the hatch pull down motor part of my wireing is killing my battery.Had no trouble until I fixed the swithch contact plate in the back so the top and bottom would line up.The motor was so hot after I opened it that I could hardly hold my hand on it.The motor isn't pulling the hatch down 100%.the switch in the front isnt working.and i open it from the key hole.I have to trip the switch in the latch and it gose down a little.then again for it to come up so I can close it.right now I got the motor wires disconected with the motor asembly up enuff to be able to get it to latch.but that wont keep the water out.Any help would be great.

 

You might have to adjust the bracket on the slider mount. Thats what I had to do.
It worked fine once adjusted, it just kept pulling down before I ajusted it.
If you have the same one I do, i have a 89 Rs. Not sure the motor mount is the same.
I know the 92 is different then the 91. Was a thread on her about it.
Hope you can get it fixed. Once they work good they are awesome!

 

mine is on a 89 iroc.There is a broken bushing that I can see on the top.mybe more.I wonder if I can buy a new set of bushings some where.

 

good luck finding the bushings, i had to go out to so many different junkyards until i found my particular bracket and bushings that slide evenly with my hatch. They made 2 different bushings and brackets. 1 setup they used various years on the bushings will be very thin, and then you have a fat bushings 8 all total if (cracked). Did you also check the plastic gear that turns when motor goes up and down?

 

For all the aggravation, I would look at Moderndaymuscle.com for motors (about $23) or Topdownsolutions.com for the wiring harness around the "trigger" switch for the pull down.

 

All the parts including the guides are available from my web site. The Guides are TDS p/n 101170: $24.25.
