Hatch lock

Hey guys gotta question I hope yall could help with.


I got this car long ago it was striped already of the interior harness I have got most everything hooked back up but after rewiring the hatch motor. I finally have got it workin fine goes up and down pulls the hatch even with the rest of the car.


My problem is I have no key to unlock it I have to get in crawl over the roll cage and use a screw driver to unlock it. I would like to know which wires I use to install to my hatch lock switch to unlock it. I have searched but no luck I find a lot of hatch motor problems but not new wiring for the lock.


Does ne one know which wires I use to run to my switch to unlock the hatch?




Ne help is greatly appreciated and I thank you so much.

Re: Hatch lock

I don't know what year your car is,.... this diagram is from an 86 IIRC. Pretty sure that most of this wiring was the same for most ThirdGens. ( I think 90+ have most of the wiring included as part of the dash harness,.... earlier cars the wiring was more of an "add on" option. )




Hope this helps !

Re: Hatch lock

The 92 style hatch motor was NOT like the diagram above. The one you have is the second style PPD motor that was used for 91 1/2-to-92 cars only.

I don't have that schematic,.... Sorry !

Re: Hatch lock

It's wired to the park brake for standards and neutral safety switch for autos. The idea is so you can't pop the hatch accidentally while driving down the road.

Re: Hatch lock

Should, looks like a nitrous throttle switch. If not can always be added.

Re: Hatch lock

I would still replace the hatch lock or have it re-keyed, then hook up the cable from the solenoid hatch release to the back of the lock cylinder.

Re: Hatch lock

After inspecting my shifter more put it on 7 years ago haha. I only have a reverse light switch on it. I looked on the side on my emergency brake it has a prong and it gives me a ground when I pull the brake up. So can I use this?


I noticed on the diagram it has a release switch relay and a extended relay and the hatch solenoid. I only have the extended relay and the solenoid it appears. I was gonna use a momentary push button to release the lock. Will this work or was the hatch lock switch a relay its self? Do I have to buy that if I do where can I?


Lonsal I do believe I am goin to pull the lock and have it rekeyed like u said jus so I have something if I cant get this switch to work .
