Hatch Lift Motor

Anyone know where I can get a replacement engine hatch life motor? Mine is running really slow, slower than last year.

If you have a local automotive electric co., take it to them and they can rebuild the one you have. Much cheaper, too.

First you might want to try putting in a relay box.With the lower current loss it may make a BIG difference.I know it did on my 36.Hatch goes up 3X faster.....

STeve, where do you wire in the relay box? Mine goes up really slow, if it goes up at all.

O.K. I'm an electronic idiot I guess. That diagram means very little to me.

Just kidding:

look at the back of your switch, you will have 6 terminals (3 to either side). There will be a wire connecting the upper left to the bottom right and another connecting upper right to lower left. Disconnect these two wires.

Disconnect the ground wire.

Connect the Up wire on the upper side with the hot wire in the center. Connect the down wire to the lower terminal same side.

on the solenoids ground one side of all four coils. connect the up wire to one solenoid coil and bridge to the one next to it. Do the same for the other two solenoids for the down wire.

Connect ground to one of the main terminals on the up side and bridge to one of the down side.

Connect 12v to the remainging solenoid main terminals on the up side and bridge to one of the down side.

All four solenoids should have one main terminal left unused

Connect the motor each of the motor wires as shown on the up side...bridge to the opposite down side.

CLEAR AS MUD.
