hatch motor

Hi I have a 86 iroc and my hatch motor won't stop running until I unplug it. What is wrong with it. It isn't going up or down either. Thanks

Hatch Latch Catch Batch

The leading cause of that problem is stripped gears or a broken lever on the Latch Closed Switch.

If you hear *
click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* when the motor is running, that is consistent with stripped gears.


Happy Racing!

I'm agreed with the first recommendation as to the cause. You have a broken gear nut.

Check the Tech Article I wrote years ago that is posted here on TGO under "General Repair" category on repairing these hatch pull-down units:
