Want this question answered?
I have to pull a fuse to get mine to work and then replace it. It only works once, so every time I want in the hatch, I have to open the hood, open the fuse box, remove and then replace the fuse. I can then open the hatch once.
Open and prop up the rear hatch glass to ensure it won't drop down during the procedure. Detach the support struts at the rear hatch glass. Then detach the support struts where they attach to the body. Install the new struts in the reverse order, MAKING CERTAIN NOT TO OVER-TIGHTEN the strut where it attaches to the window glass.
the struts are probably bad and need to be replaced. you can get them at almost any auto parts stores
There are four suspension struts, one for each wheel, and two rear window hatch support struts.
raise the hatch pull down on the carpet, determine which light is out and twist to come out, you dont replace from the outside of the car!!!
I'm sure there is a fuse somewhere, but the electrical connections for the rear defog are made thru the struts that hold the rear hatch open. this is why if you buy new struts for that car they will ask you does it have rear defog. the struts you need must have an electrical connecter at the forward end with a wire attached to each strut. go look.
what are the wires for on the rear hatch door hydraulic pumps
open the rear hatch, and remove two 7mm bolts, carefully remove the housing. once removed do not hang by wires. push tab and twist bulb assembly. pull bulb strait out and re-install
The rear hatch can be replaced by another hatch from an 82 to 92 firebird or camaro.
Doors do not have tension. If you are referring to the rear hatch, the shock-absorber type tubes on either side are filled with compressed gas to provide lift. If the hatch does not stay up you must replace those tubes or struts to restore function.
inside of hatch on back wall separate carpet back a lil then theres black wing nuts on the tail lights remove them all and replace install is opp of teardown
Are you asking about the hinged brackets, or the lift struts? EITHER WAY - open the glass hatch and securely prop it up so that it cannot fall. Lifting up the hatch will clearly reveal the hardware that the glass attaches to (or supports it). Remove the appropriate nuts/bolts/screws and replace.
