Hatch Motor or Switch Problem????
Hey guys,
I was finishing some repairs up on my car when I noticed the hatch wasn't sealed. When I hit the hatch button to release it and it did, however, in order to close or open the hatch and get it to seal I have to hold the switch down instead of just hitting it once. Is this a problem with the switch or am I looking at a possible hatch motor replacement???

It sounds to me that you have the power wires to the hatch reversed. It appears that the power from the hatch switch is feeding both the hatch release AND the hatch pull down motor. The hatch release wire is the bigger of the 2 wires and has a large connector that plugs directly into the release solenoid. The power for the hatch motor has a smaller connector that mates with another connector that goes into the hatch motor. Check and make sure somebody has'nt hacked up your wiring or spliced wires together.
