Thanks a ton, the pic looks great, but altho I don't have a pic of mine...yet...that doesn't look anything like my configuration. Will find out today. Thanks again. John

Tried a variety of connections with and without using the switch, all to no avail. Haven't tried any kind of jumper yet. But here is a pic of mine. Thanks everyone for your input. John

Whoopee
 
OK, here is the deal. After lots of trial and error all with no success, I began to think maybe the electric motor was frozen or bad. Anyway, I called a friend at a local marina and he was able to stop by for a look. He hooked it up just like I had been doing and said it was trying to run, but maybe my charger wasn't big enough, it was only a 4 Amp model. So I went and got my 10 Amp/start model he hooked it up and the hatch came right up.

So, for future reference, the blue wire is "up", so hook the positive from the charger up to it, and the negative up to the black wire for ground and it should work.

Thanks to all for everyone's input and suggestions.
John

As a general rule of thumb, the blue (sky) is up and the green (grass) is down. :cool:

Have a similar problem, without the dead batteries. When I hit the dash switch, in either direction I get a clicking sound from the solenoid that is mounted in the engine compartment.( it has the 2 positives from the batteries along with other wires connected to it) I can jump the red on the pump bracket (the pump is under the rear bench) to either the blue(up) or green (down) and it will raise and lower the hatch. I replaced the up solenoid because one of the studs stripped and still nothing. I removed and wirewheeled all ring terminals to no avail. I figure the dash switch must be good if its activating the solenoid. What does that solenoid in the engine compartment have to do with hatch operation?

Got it. Looked at the wiring diagram and it turned out to be the circuit breaker on the panel just inside the cabin over the storage locker. It must have accidentally been shut off going into the cabin.

Done that before hit a couple of them and had lots of stuff dead. Flipped a switch and fixed easy fix.

The wiring on a bullet or at least mine is crazy. Pulled out 2500' of it!
