86 hatch motor in a 91? Can it work?
Hey guys, I got a question about swapping out hatch motor units. I've got an 86 T/A with an original hatch motor that still works and my 91 Firebird daily driver has a bad hatch motor. I'm wanting to swap the entire 86 unit into the 91 but I need to know if this will work? The unit in the 91 is the early year metal frame model and from what I can tell it looks physically identical to the one in the 86, both with solenoid release. However, I need to know if the wiring is the same and if it's not can it be modified to work? From what I can tell on the 91 there's just the lock cable, some ground wires, and the 4 pin connector to run the motor. I haven't looked at the 86 yet to see if it's the same.
I'm needing to do this tomorrow since I'm getting rid of '86 on Sunday so any replies would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
