Rear hatch motor problems

I recently purchased an 86 trans am and the only thing not working is the hatch motor. I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to figure out why it's not working but I've had no luck. I replaced the motor and the relay that sits next to it and nothing has changed. I checked to see if there is power going to the motor and there is. Anybody have any advice?
