Hatch Pull Down

Having trouble with the trunk pull down. I have checked the fuse it is good, swapped out the relay with a new one. Still no luck. I opened the trunk last night and the pull down did not come up. The trunk opened and now I can not get it to lock. Can not get the pull down to come up so that I can lock the trunk.

im going through the EXACT same situation right now w/ my 86 IROC. the plastic gear that rotates to raise and lower the pull down is probably stripped. u just gotta get a new one.

this is the gear im talking about.

you can find wat u need here: http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/HatchParts

the pull down gear/screw is only $10...u just need to get White Lithium grease.

oh forgot to ask..does the motor still make the 'whirring' noise?

Do you happen to know where the contact is that makes the pull down device go up and down? I have been working with it and for now for some reason it is working. I am thinking that I might need to clean the contact.

oh are u talking about the magnet thing to the left of the latch?

CaliChevyLover The contacts that you are talking about is for the Third brake lite. I am looking for the contact that operatates the pull down.
